Question of the Day

A scientist recently had his security clearance revoked because of his unsavory associations, according to an AP article at Newsmax.com.

The U.S. Government says this fellow was cozy with "a saboteur, spy, terrorist, traitor, seditionist, anarchist, or revolutionist, espionage agent, or representative of a foreign nation whose interests are inimical to the interest of the United States."

So here's the question of the day...

If our government can fire someone for this type of activity because of the national security risk they present, how can the American people even consider hiring a U.S. Senator, whose friends and mentors are cut from the same cloth, for the top job in the nation?
