I commend my father's personal take on that passage from John: "For ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall piss ye off." That concludes today's readings from the Gospels as understood by Frank Smith.

No doubt. They were something. Hard to imagine how they wound up with such sensitive, New Age guys as the two of us!

Since that was their motto, I’m not surprised, that someone at the Agency felt compelled to release it in such critical circumstances.

I'm guessing that if Tulsi fired people, the document was accidentally released.

If the two individuals were fired because they refused to conform, they should bring wrongful termination lawsuits.

Excellent piece! Truth has always been a valuable commodity, but when it becomes something that is being hidden and then rewritten, ... it's priceless. Truth has to be the foundation that everything else is built on, or it will inevitably begin to crack and fall apart under the weight of lies and falsehoods. Truth isn't always pretty, but it's essential.
