We Need To Talk. About the Intel Community Cut-Outs. About How Unaccountable CIA Outsources To Unaccountable Security Contractors Protected By "Sorry: Can't Get Into That", "State Secrets Privilege" It's bullshit actually.  These agencies need to be shattered into a powder, then put into an oven (metaphorically), melted down and then molded into something actually more useful.... like a paper weight or decorative garden tile. They need their toys taken away.  Like secrecy.  State secrets privilege. They've abused it.  They are in desperate need of a time out.  They are the adult equivalent of a screeching child in a grocery store that the aloof parent (congress) will not lift a finger to inflictg actual parenting upon.  To quote HRC, they need to be brought to heel.  If they cannot be immediately corrected, they ought to be completely obliterated and our constutitution should have an amendment inhibitng them from every coming to power ever again. https://washingtonsblog.com/2019/09/the-terrorists-among-us-cyber-terrorists-publicly-expose-themselves-6.html The US is at a critical juncture and in danger of losing itself to cyber terrorists posing as protectors at the gate. Private industry and lobbyists have infiltrated the Intelligence community to the point that the difference between private contractors and government agencies is no longer distinguishable. There is no longer a line left for them to crossover except being held responsible for their crimes. Let’s help them cross that line too. The practice of farming out government responsibility in Intelligence and Security work has removed legal responsibility from the agencies who now call private contractors that aren’t under restrictions to act in what would be illegal conduct against US and EU citizens. It has gone beyond the pale now that it is having real world consequences. Private contractors are acting as judge, jury, and in some cases, executioner.
