Subject: Re: Science brain drain
The three smartest minds I know, in my 14 year, late career arc in the intelligence community, have all resigned in the last 90 days. I'm not even looking, and I know of these ones. Someone labeled some of us as being "mine canaries" and if 3 of the 5 on his list left, he was leaving too as it was indicative that things were irretrievably broke. I never asked Kevin who else was on his list, but it was these types. All long term patriots, all reasonable critics of various administrations and dodgy policies, all veterans.
