Wolf, it�s evident your mind is boggled. You have my sympathy. Perhaps, once it becomes unboggled, you�ll understand that subverting students, healthcare workers, intellectuals, and other non-political people who are in a foreign country at the courtesy of that country�s government not only destroys any trust between the respective governments and destroys the subverted person�s reasonable expectation that his/her host government will view them as apolitical, non-threatening, and in a protective light, but it also places those subverted at risk of hostile action by those whom they�ve been told to spy upon. Risks they've neither been trained for nor volunteered to …

Wolf, It's evident you are still boggled. Yes, we read the same article but you evidently failed to comprehend the arguments I made about why suborning espionage from those who are not government agents is wrong - i.e.; you are still boggled. Please re-read my statement (reproduced again here): Subverting students, healthcare workers, intellectuals, and other non-political people who are in a foreign country at the courtesy of that country�s government not only destroys any trust between the respective governments and destroys the subverted person�s reasonable expectation that his/her host government will view them as apolitical, non-threatening, and in a protective …

Hi FranLast, thanks for the support. I�m afraid that some people (�Wolf� may just be an example), particularly those who�ve been in the forefront of our nation�s foreign & domestic policies (in all our administrations - probably since the colonies declared independence from Great Britain), frequently abandon the moral compass by which the ends are not always justified by the means. This moral confusion (of which they actually accuse their critics in an unusually clear example of textbook psychology in action - see: Projective Identification) also allows them to rewrite history and dismiss inconvenient facts (again, another psychology textbook behavior - …

Evidently "wolf" failed to read the article closely or else chooses to maintain the 'crazy few' theory despite the abundant evidence that racial hatred is growing by leaps and bounds in American society. This 'growth industry' isn't confined to only racist Whites (of which there are plenty) but is also evident in the 'race wars' in Los Angeles where Latinos are conducting 'ethnic cleansing' of Blacks from Latino neighborhoods... evidently on orders of 'la eme'. Recent Supreme Court rulings, and those of lower courts, have reversed the Government's stand against overt racism as long as it's called something conveniently vague or …

Gosh mdren68! How completely foolish of me... Of course every thing's wonderful here in the bestest most justest and equitablest country on the planet. Naturally there's no racism... it's just hypersensitivity of a few people who, no matter how great things really are, just can't be happy without complaining. Naturally, the climate's just fine and it's going to stay that way forever because the white god in his white heaven has decreed it will be so. Of course America treats all its detainees just like we'd like our family to be treated if they were detained and all that nasty news …
