@RadioFreeTom Nope. Just that system pretty systematically produces lies. Haven't read it yet to be able to say IN THIS CASE @robertcaruso

@emptywheel@robertcaruso Okay. So, until you've decided whether or not he's lying, I'll assume he's not, and that#Snowden helped#ISIS. -
@emptywheel@robertcaruso Unless, of course, you have evidence that Morrell is lying. -
@RadioFreeTom As I said, just that every book w/"secrets" fr top officials PRB approved lately turned out not to be "secrets"@robertcaruso -
@emptywheel@robertcaruso In other words, you have no idea if he's lying, you're just assuming it, because you're you. :) -
@RadioFreeTom This is the problem w/serial lying. Eventually even more trustworthy people (Morrill may well be) tainted.@robertcaruso -
@emptywheel@robertcaruso Meaning: "Maybe Snowden's theft helped ISIS, but I prefer to shift this to a generic accusation of systemic lying" -
@RadioFreeTom Nah, I already noted yesterday Morrill's book probably included lies bc that's all PRB approves.@robertcaruso -
@emptywheel@robertcaruso So you *do* assume Morrell is lying, you just don't want to get called out for saying it explicitly. - 45 more replies
