Your tin foil hat can't protect your thoughts when you put them into a Reddit comment.

This sub is pretty much the only good press Reddit gets these days. Why the hell isnt reddit just paying this?

Thank you for doing this. Some great information here. My mom has Lupis (with some Raynaud's and Fibro, as well as Hashimoto's which there is some debate as to whether or not it is related). Sharing this with my friends so they see.

No question here, just wanted to say you're awesome.

I'm in the middle of reading Legacy of Ashes, which is a comprehensive and very critical history of the CIA. I'm sure it is written with a bias against the CIA but it really paints them as an incompetent agency that backs into their few wins and has no accountability for their loses (I was particularly struck by an incident in I think Indonesia where the CIA was backing one side of a conflict and the Pentagon was backing the other). Now I'm only up to Kennedy so I'm no where near the modern age, however: Have you read this book? Do you think it is a fair assessment of the CIA and its capabilities/limitations? Is the CIA still like this today? How does the NSA compare with the CIA in these terms?
