Truth is treason in the empire of lies and so is merely asking the question according to Neocon McCarthy:


Senator Paul’s contrast between Snowden and national intelligence director James Clapper is badly misplaced. Snowden may have told some truth “in the name of privacy” — after taking an oath not to reveal classified information as a condition of getting access to it. But now he is telling truth in the name of harming his country. His malfeasance does not look better in comparison to Clapper. Clapper may well have lied to Congress and surely gave Congress false information (although whether this succeeded in obstructing Congress is doubtful — as noted above, Congress had tons of information about the program, and one suspects Senator Wyden asked the question because he knew the answer). Still, while Clapper should be held accountable for false statements, Senator Paul is conveniently omitting the fact that Clapper’s duty was not to tell the truth — it was to explain that that the matter should not be discussed in a public hearing. Paul is right that lying to Congress is “in defiance of the law,” but so is revealing classified information in a public setting. And if Senator Wyden invited such a revelation knowing classified information was at issue, then Wyden’s conduct is equally reprehensible.

Every single time I see the word "Clapper" in print I automatically think of the Austin Powers line "When did you get the clapper?.."
