    Governments that lose the power of secrecy succeed by operating in a manner that needs no explanation. This is not that.

        I think @Snowden means the government is operating in a manner that needs explanation, so therefore it isn't succeeding

        If @Snowden were a government that had lost the power of secrecy, then maybe. But he's just a guy on Twitter.

        One problem we have here is we can't get the primary pieces on the board. 😉

        .@Shadowboxer50 @BondParkerBond @Snowden The board is being set-up from the start. Putin plays with the white pieces and moves first.

        unfortunately, some of his pieces are broken and don't always do what they are supposed to.

        Since few things remain secret, it'd be best to just go forward honestly. Gov't is apparently baffled by that idea.
