“Once upon a time, the CIA and allied agencies pushed free speech as a norm. Overseas. The rationale? Without some free speech and press rights, it was too hard to organize a populace to overthrow their government. Our spooks exported freedom of speech abroad not because they were so gung-ho American; it was all about seeding revolutions. But not here!” (08/30/24)
