    Not at all, but neither should we be blinkered and jingoistic in a discussion of covert activities that (without the knowledge of the American people) could have cost many lives in other countries.



    You don't have to look for a sinister spin on everything, but you don't have to accept everything the government does is justified either.

    I don't detect any jingoism anywhere in this thread or the op ed.

    I don't think your comment would be in a dictionary.
