Most of us will never know what really goes on or why..<br /><br /> One season of Homeland opened my eyes wider than they have ever been and once open, you cant go back in your thinking.

James Donovan's words, though, were specifically relating to certain events in 1962, I think - about how captured Russian spy Rudolf Abel was going to be treated. If it hadn't been for the lawyer's foresight, and his insight about Abel's personality, and that the job the spy had been doing was no worse than that America's spies were involved in, Abel would have been executed and there'd have been no opportunity to do the "swaps" which, due to the lawyer's shrewd negotiation, released Powers later, along with an American student also captured, though not a spy.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-63313593773671771042015-11-02T09:32:42.335-06:002015-11-02T09:32:42.335-06:00P.S. - I often mention in comments that a majority...P.S. - I often mention in comments that a majority of Americans work for corporations that Americans love to hate...many of these employees receive monetary rewards for their corrosive, anti-consumer initiatives. The Powers-U2 event is much the same. The USAF-CIA-NSA, humans in those agencies, in efforts of self-preservation, sacrificed Powers.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-11075697312344797962015-11-02T08:58:45.616-06:002015-11-02T08:58:45.616-06:00Powers is emblematic of "no good deed goes un...Powers is emblematic of "no good deed goes unpunished". I can only assume that he served as a euphemism for America's military-CIA embarrassment of the incident at that time. It's interesting that some individual's lives are fret with difficulties caused by outer negative influences, though the individual is of inherent, high quality. "Win one for the gipper."<br /><br />I haven't seen the movie and probably won't until it comes to Netflix sometime in the 2020s. A neighbor saw it last weekend and praised it.<br /><br />Your sidebar quote contains, "If the free world is not faithful to its own moral code...". The free world has ALWAYS been faithful to its moral code, and at times, that code has contained greater immorality than other times. I'd say that the morals of the free world currently has much darkness and corruption to contend.<br /><br /><br />“Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.” Isaac Asimovmikenoreply@blogger.com
