, in my case, the U.S. government asserted a dangerous, dangerous new global legal position. Only U.S. citizens have free speech rights. Europeans and other nationalities do not have free speech rights, but the U.S. claims its Espionage Act still applies to them, regardless of where they are. So Europeans in Europe must obey the U.S. secrecy law with no defenses at all.

On what planet does that sound less than completely sociopathic?

Also I had no idea Barr was ex CIA. It explains a lot and contradicts a lot. I'm very confused by Barr.
