Whats interesting and very telling is the medias coverage of this.

Or lack there of. They're busy getting hysterical over the highly damning allegations of the day that is our current 'NightmareTV' political situation.

Because the Obama admin was implicated in it, the coverage seems to be broad in Republican circles (i.e. Fox News). I wish us non-tribal people could form some common-sense, bipartisan group.

Edit: added less ambiguous descriptors.

No one outside HN and reddit ever seemed to give a shit about this stuff, even in the Bush years.

All the noise I've tried to make about this and no one ever cares. The South Park episode about this was painfully dead on.

Which episode was that? I don't generally follow South Park but occasionally watch particular episodes.
