Politics make strange bedfellows

"Palin previously feuded with Assange after WikiLeaks posted data hacked from Palin's private email account when she was the Republican vice-presidential nominee in 2008. Two years later she called Assange "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands" after WikiLeaks published leaked diplomatic cables. "

"I apologize for condemning Assange when he published my infamous (and proven noncontroversial, relatively boring) emails years ago," she wrote.

Palin continued: "As I said at the time of being targeted and my subsequent condemnation, though, the line must be drawn before our troops or innocent lives deserving protection would be put at risk as a result of published emails."

Palin then implored people to see the movie "Snowden," about former CIA contractor Edward Snowden who leaked classified information about the National Security Agency. She called the movie "enlightening."

We're imagining that insider information is a magic trick, with some exotic or counterintuitive method, behind it.

What if there is no such thing.

I think people being accused of spying would have to be embedded or well connected.

Neocons are crying wolf, saying the sky is falling, and accusing their own assets of treason.
