This is apparently the government's position re: whistleblowers -
"An individual in authorized possession of classified information has no authority or right to unilaterally determine that it should be made public or otherwise disclose it”
- this seems to fly in the face of established international law (written largely by Americans). That the courts are siding with the Justice Department on this interpretation is further indication that the U.S. is indeed in a post-republic or post-constitutional era, just as Sam has been pointing out for some time.
Was the final break the Supreme Court decision in December 2000, or was it the events of 9-11? Or perhaps the two events were essentially the same thing and can now be seen as such.
