What a sorry list. You could easily find much more competent people right here on this board.
Something tells me that many of these more high profile DS players have already been dealt wtih, including Biden, and are now just playing their part. This was tough for me to believe for a couple of years, but if you really look at what's going on right now, you have to admit that there's something very strange happening underneath the public facade. It may sound far-fetched that some of these people are just playing a role, but State Secrets is a hell of a silencer. And when given a choice between playing a role to help wake the country up, or watching your family serve lengthy prison sentences, the choice would probably be pretty easy to make.
