I see they keep trying to portray him as a spy, or worse than spy.
Yada, yada, our adversaries, yada, yada, betrayal, yada, yada, can no longer work in secret.

Somehow we are to believe that there is a terrorist hiding behind every corner and under every rock, and that only by working in secret our government can keep us safe.

A rational person would tackle poverty, health care, debt, aging infrastructure, foreign policy, environment issues, etc, etc.

An irrational person on the other hand may be driven by fear and spends insane amounts of money and effort to protect against a perceived threat that is hardly more dangerous than lightening strike.

Even in the month of September 2001 more people in the US died in traffic accidents than in the 9/11 attacks.
