Rushing to leave a criminal administration

In five years, six different people have moved through the post of counterterrorism chief, overseeing what has been the FBI's core mission since 9/11.

why...?

[O]ne former senior FBI manager said he quit after tiring of the “constant berating” he got from lawmakers when briefing Congress. “All these factors play into a decision to leave: family, finances, burnout, pressure, criticism,” he says. “You've worked your a__ off. Eventually you say, Hey, the heck with this.”

could it also have something to do with the abandonment of ethical, moral, and constitutional principles by an out-of-control executive branch...? case in point, the article in time's current edition, subheadlined...

"There's Only So Much You Can Glean from Someone Who's Been Interrogated for Four Years."

the money quote...

"The supreme court's ruling in Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld totals 185 pages and can be summarized in two words: Start over."

everyone who's been required to wage the war on terror (military, psychologists, medical doctors, cia, nsa, fbi, the list is long), bushco-style, undoubtedly must be feeling both shame and remorse, feelings that began to surface long before the supreme court ruling of last week... is it any wonder there's a rush to leave...?

an editorial comment in the raw story article makes an interesting observation...

In a sign that the press' relationship with President Bush continues to erode, a major Time Magazine news article in Monday's editions will tell Bush five ways they believe the jail could be fixed.

[...]

The magazine, it seems, has decided they can no longer get through to the Administration with news articles.

after going on six years of the bush administration flipping the digit to the media, the congress, the american people, the u.n., and the world in general, time magazine now concludes they "can no longer get through to the administration..." another bgo (blinding glimpse of the obvious)... do you suppose they might eventually wake up enough to grasp that our country underwent a silent coup d'etat beginning with 12 december 2000...?
