The actions of current and former leaders of the Intelligence Community reveal the rot that has continued to expand.

In late fall 2018, the U.S. Embassy in the Netherlands was informed Wreaths Across America wanted to extend the holiday-season tradition of placing wreaths on the graves of U.S. service members to the World War II Netherlands American Cemetery at Margraten.

In the Colonial Pipeline attack it seems that there is an almost unanimous agreement that Russian hackers were the perpetrators, but there is a difference of opinion as to who should be held accountable.

While there are many in the Intelligence Community who risk their lives each day for the safety and security of the American people, there are also those willing to cut some corners to please political bosses in the executive branch.

The issue on where to draw the line on the massive surveillance powers of the Intelligence Community and its use domestically requires profound consideration even in the heat of this current political moment.
