[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 70910888, member: 21246"] Interesting OP and thanks to Rion for adding the links. If Intelligence Officials leak classified information without proper authorisation isn't that treason? Does the American Constitution allow individual bureaucrats to make the kind of decisions that are being made to leak information in special circumstances. Surely they would have to submit that through the normal channels? Or do these channels simply not exist within the intelligence services? Does a closer relationship with Russia constitute a security risk to the USA for example that would justify information leakage or is this just an example of entrenched Cold War prejudice by people in the wrong jobs? When you speak of the Deep State it seem to me you exaggerate the degree of unity and imply a political elite with an integrated agenda and uniform purpose. In fact the increasingly partisan nature of American politics seems to imply a party loyalty before country loyalty in some cases. Also the large number of different agencies competing for influence and budget does not imply perfect sharing and coherent purpose. So I suspect the Deep State does not exist and the real question is how America will handle its traitors? [/QUOTE]
