You know as well as I do that when the kids are quiet, they're up to no good. That's why barns burn down, because the kids are out there trying to light up a smoke where nobody can see them. And so it is, far too many misdeeds in the world have been accomplished in a back room where no one knew what was going on and the door was kept closed in the same of secrecy.
What we have learned in the last two months about the way our government is doing things is appalling to say the least. And here come all of those childlike excuses, "I didn't do it!" "Holder did it!" "But, we're cleaning the mess up, so it's okay!" "If Bush did it, why can't WE do it?"
Followed by defiant, but unproven justification: "National security." "We kept Winnemucca, Nevada from being bombed because of our program!" For some reason you don't hear any claims about how the Boston Bombing was prevented due to our highly-skilled gathering and storing of information, our I.R.S. targeting of conservative organizations or our snooping into the phone calls at the A.P.
Finally, the ultimate kid defense: "It's just not fair! If that dirty snitch Snowden hadn't leaked the information about what was going on, Americans wouldn't know the barn was about to burn down and we wouldn't be having this conversation. Come on, dad! Get real!"
How about this one? "If it wasn't for our top secret data gathering and intrusion into the news media, we never would have been able to to identify that video as being the cause of the Benghazi Massacre."
