Good Cop, Bad Cop After the Sony hack, Barack Obama said: We cannot have a society where some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States. That's not who we are. That's not what America is about. Throughout his presidency, Obama's said this, "That's not who we are, that's not what America is about." Yet in each instance, it is exactly who we are, what America is about.

Empire, Hypocrisy and Deflection the duplicity and nationalistic rhetoric have been a huge deflection--from Edward Snowden's bombshells, including the latest--that the NSA shares data about US citizens with Israel. The contrived swerve from one crime to another may be the purpose of what we've just witnessed this past week.

Yes, we were relieved but a "guilty" on any is absurd because the arrest, itself, was dead wrong.
