".....Obama administration’s disturbing “Insider Threat” program, which supposedly views all leaks akin to aiding the enemy. This program, and its dangerous culture, has bled into agencies that don't even deal with classified information, including the Department of Education, Department of Agriculture and Peace Corp.

".....Numerous government officials have said on background that Edward Snowden's passport has been revoked, but no one will confirm it on the record.” Why couldn't they say anything officially? ....Because it was prohibited by the the Privacy Act.

Without having to introduce a misinterpretation of "Godel Incompleteness" are not there simpler things related in computer science that tells us there are examples of such rationalizations painted into a corner, surfacing tautology quandries becoming 'undecideable', and so, by extending throughout the "...Department of Education, Department of Agriculture and Peace Corp,..." hierarchies, the whole machine can no longer fly?

Was Yossarian, and Joseph Heller's story more than fiction? Do we need to add Heller to these new Orwell-Huxley reading lists?
