... Dudley, These decisions ARE made by civilian leaders at the highest level of ELECTED GOVERNMENT. These leaders consult with ALL the necessary specialists in the field, both civilian and military when making these decisions, then the decisions are made at the highest level, which is the elected civilian government. And you actually believe that your (or any) government works that way? Wow, that's beyond naive, IMHO. It's also not at all born out in everyday experience. Not even remotely. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) Thomas, Rather than sit there and just yell "WRONG!!!", could you please explain to the group how it really does work?

Jay,
We're discussing this statement: "These decisions ARE made by civilian leaders at the highest level of ELECTED GOVERNMENT. These leaders consult with ALL the necessary specialists in the field, both civilian and military when making these decisions, then the decisions are made at the highest level, which is the elected civilian government." Specifically, we're discussing the way the TSA determines that taking photos at an airfield is a security risk. Dudley claimed the process above would apply. Do you believe the President or someone at cabinet level ("highest level of elected goverment") has consulted "ALL the necessary specialists" and then the President or a cabinet level member of the government ("the decisions are made at the highest level") had anything to do with whether photography should be classified as a security issue? (We still haven't determined that it is deemed so by the TSA) To put it mildly, I have a hard time believing that. I would hope the highest level of the elected government has more important things to decide. As an aside which also came up in the thread, look at the "security measures" employed by the TSA and other authorities. Some are just ineffective, others ridiculous, still others an insult to democracy. Do you believe the real process of coming up with these is as perfect as described in the statement above? I don't. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
