So, let me get this straight, my government secretly set up secret overseas prisons where it would secretly send people it suspected of aggression toward the US and then torture them in secret . . . AND the first official head to roll is that of a whistleblower?
Excuse me for being such an innocent, but this NYT account of Mary O. McCarthy's dismissal is just so emblematic of our country's descent into madness, it makes me ill.
The crime against humanity is brushed aside, filed under business as usual, while the crime of the whistleblower is pursued with great vigor. I can only imagine what other criminal policies will now flourish with current and future employees with a conscience duly chastened by this turn of events.
