Everything everywhere must be compared to an American reference point ! <| sep |> You ' re missing the point entirely . A good chunk of the article is about how the usual clearance levels are more than sufficient . I ' m clearly not asking for public servants to leak military secrets , but putting a total gag order on them , for life , is extreme as mentioned and doesn ' t allow them to speak out about wrongdoing or manipulation about what is supposed to be an open selection process . <| sep |> AMAZING . And you and me too ! And all of us with badges ! just made it through thanksgiving ! <| sep |> Interesting . Is the Ch 1 and cyber , business risk , IA roles , and everything else you mentioned structured in the same way as financial audit and tax where it ' s expected you pick one of them and never look back ? Or is ITRA more of a jack of all trades type of gig ?
