With all the strategically beneficial secrets
that were leaked from the white house in the beginning of President Obama’s administration, It makes you wonder If it
will spring more strategic leaks in the next few months until November, in order to bombshell Mitt Romney’s chances at being elected.
The President isn’t the only one profiting on the ever growing
trend of leaking secrets. The example of the Navy Seal that recently wrote and published
his tell-all book on how Bin Laden was killed, and how he was UN-armed at the time is a good
one: Duh! This is also a good example of how blatant and UN-afraid the leakers
are of any form of repercussions.
I guess you can call it an internet age way of thinking brought on by too much free access to any form
of information; including and especially sensitive government
documents and E-mails. I guess snooping into our private business goes both
ways for both the public and the government.
Well, it is good not to have too many “real” secrets between
a governmental agency and the citizens it is sworn to serve. The way things are
going neither side is going to have any secrets left from each other let alone
any privacy. I remember when I was a kid even the teacher told you no buddy
likes a tattle
tale, then somehow it got turned into tell on your parents and neighbors in
the eighties.
If Obama tries to boost his support by boosting some secrets
and letting them slip into the media through the anonymous tipster called The
World Wide Web, more power to him; he just needs to remember that if he gets
caught, nobody likes a snitch!
