re: Why are liberals so afraid of the memo?

When you worship the state, exposing its lies amounts to blasphemy. That's why many liberals on this board despise Assange and Snowden. They committed the most unforgivable sin: shedding light on the lies and misdeeds of those at the highest levels of American government. This memo has the ability to expose those in power and simultaneously weaken any moral authority they once claimed to have had. For secular liberals who worship the state, this is akin to attacking the church.
