CIA, NSA, and Pentagon Alumni Back Harris for White House

Ex-CIA, NSA operatives, and 100+ Pentagon officials back Kamala Harris for President, showing close ties to the US security state, says Glenn Greenwald.

“You can tell a lot by a political party or a political candidate by looking at the elites who are endorsing them and what it is that they're saying when they do — for more than four years now, all sorts of people who are part of the war machine in Washington who embrace the neoconservative ideology of starting wars all over the country as a way of asserting American influence and enriching the weapons manufacturers of the United States.

All the people who are most vested in preservation of the ruling class status quo have been radically and rapidly migrating from the Republican party where they once resided, especially after the war on terror, during the war on terror, after 911 attack, and during the Bush Cheney administration, gradually, but also very inexorably, toward the Democratic Party.”

These endorsements spotlight the Democratic Party's troubling entanglements with the security apparatus.
