Sometimes it's noble... Sometimes, not so much.. It's murkey water.. There are things our government is involved in that aren't too honorable..

Yes, I do know that. I was talking more about cia agents. Their job is to protect and take out threats among other duties. It's a horrible and thankless job. They basically give up their normal life for us and to me that's noble

The cia does both the noble work and the dirty work that is sometimes the murkey part I was referring to. They are not total knights in shining armour..

I would never compare them to knights in shining armor. But their sacrifice is enormous and something that not everyone would be willing to do. We will never know half of what they do because they will never be acknowledged.

So why did they ignore the Russian government's warning about the terrorists in Boston?

Funny they can't find time to spy on terrorists living here on welfare handouts but they can spy on innocent citizens.

I think you're right, Obama and his henchmen will devote a lot more time and money going after Snowden than they ever did on Osama.

Terrorists are given refugee status and all the government handouts to live here.

We make it very easy for the dissidents of other regimes to come here for political asylum and the American people have to pay to maintain them in style but we Americans don't have the same right to escape a murderous regime.

I blame it on the current POTUS. This is going on NOW, under a fascist dictator who thinks he controls the entire world.
