I've been saying this forever, but noone ever wants to face their own ignorance. Ever needs an opinion.
I think it's a cop out. 99% of the information is available open source and you can do your own research.
I don't believe it. You don't know what Karzai whispers to Obama in a closed-setting, you don't know what Secret CIA operatives are privy to, and what they're studying. You know what reporters and book writers know. You don't know all of the declassified intel at the Pentagon. You don't know if the information that IS released is not formed in-such a way as to manipulate you.
