Benjamin Netanyahu's flamboyant presentation on Monday was billed as an expose of groundbreaking intelligence "the world has never seen before", which proved Iran had lied about its nuclear programme and would do so again.

You've got to know what is out there and what one might hear in opposition to this. In a general sense, though, it does seem good they hit that missile facility in Syria in destroying such weapons. I'm sorry if there were deaths involved.

Much of what our govt makes classified is done to keep it from Americans, not our enemies.   By keeping it from American citizens they are better able to control the agenda according to their personal goals.  Thus increasing their power and riches.

So it may have been known but not by most Americans and we do have a right to know.
