It makes me sad when I think about what the Intelligence Community could have been in behalf of our Country- if they truly represented American Interests. What a lost opportunity over so many decades.
At this point in my life, I see the American People as the most powerful force there is on this Earth. If there is a God (spoiler: there is, maybe not what we imagined) then Americans are God's chosen people. Secrets shouldn't be kept from them. Americans can cope with the truth- they can accept it and adapt. There isn't anything that should be kept from them. Nothing- not even the worst. The entire purpose of an Intelligence Community is the welfare of its' own population...they should have never become a gatekeeper and master.
