RE: Profiting from the Presidency, Cashing in on the Cattle

Have you heard the case of David McBride? He was an Australian Army Lawyer who blew the whistle on war crimes. He's now in jail. The feds raided the offices of the journalist's office (which was ironically the state-sponsored media) for publishing the story.
I don't know a lot, but I believe a man who points to something and says "that's wrong" shouldn't end up in jail - regardless of if it is a "State secret". Other people knew.
He just said the quiet part out loud, now he's in jail for a little bit. He is remarkably stoic about it.
I confess that I am of the camp that that "do not attribute to malice what is incompetence", or however that saying goes; but I know one thing - that I can read between the lines. I am off to bed, its my second night in a row sitting at the computer beyond midnight.
I think that both incompetence and malice are too often contributing together to bad situations. They aren't mutually exclusive, but actually likely to go together, as people are incompetent and malicious for the same reason, being they are incompetent to understand that good ethics create good outcomes.
Sleep well.
I wish that had occurred. I plan to tire myself out today, pop a few melatonin pills before bed, and be blissfully unaware until the cat decides to wake me up at whatever hour she deems reasonable. I love her, but I don't sleep 18 hours a day like she does. What a life.
