Finding Faith In A 9-11 Snowden World

by John June 14, 2013

Again, I think Edward Snowden deserves applause but also punishment. Most Americans agree. For instance, polls say the majority of Americans are OK with losing some privacy for increased security.  Yet, others think Snowden’s actions were heroic.

Books For Snowden NSA Leak Story

by John June 10, 2013

by John June 2, 2013

This is one of my summer picks.  And it’s not because Richard Haass’ Foreign Policy Begins at Home might have helped my golf game.
