Kutongwa kweaimbove mukuru weCIA Jeffrey Sterling, kunotanga pakati paNdira, kuri kuumba sehondo huru mukukomba kwehurumende yeUS kupokana nekuridza muridzo. Nekushandisa kwayo mutemo weEspionage kutyisidzira nekumhan'arira vanhu nekuda kwekubuda mu "kuchengetedzwa kwenyika", hutongi hwaObama hwakatsunga kuramba huchivanza zvinhu zvakakosha izvo veruzhinji vane kodzero yakakosha yekuziva.
Mushure mekutaura kwenguva pfupi yekupomerwa kwaSterling makore mana apfuura, vezvenhau havana kuita zvishoma kujekesa nyaya yake - nepo vachimbotaura nezvekuramba New York Times mutori wenhau James Risen kuti apupure nezve kana Sterling aive sosi yebhuku rake re2006 "State of War."
Kumira kwaRisen kusingazununguki kwekuvanzika kwezvinyorwa kunoyemurika. Panguva imwecheteyo, Sterling - uyo akatarisana nemhosva gumi dzinosanganisira nomwe pasi peEspionage Act - haafanire kutsigirwa.
Zvakazarurwa kubva kune vakashinga vanoridza muridzo zvakakosha pamvumo ine ruzivo yevanotonga. Nekurwa kwaro, Bazi reObama Justice riri kurwa hondo yepamutemo pakodzero dzedu dzegutsaruzhinji kuti tizive zvakawanda nezvezviito zvehurumende pane nyaya dzepamutemo. Ndosaka kupopotedzana kwemudare redzimhosva panyaya ye“United States of America v. Jeffrey Alexander Sterling” kwakakosha zvikuru.
Sterling ari kupomerwa mhosva yekuudza Risen nezvechirongwa cheCIA icho chainge chapa Iran hurongwa hwezvombo zvenyukireya muna 2000. Mhosva idzi hadzina humbowo.
Asi hapana anopokana kuti Sterling akaudza vashandi veSenate Intelligence Committee nezve chiitiko cheCIA, chakanzi Operation Merlin, iro bhuku raRisen rakazofumura uye rakaburitsa pachena sembeveve uye ine ngozi. Kunyange ichivavarira kudzivirira kuwanda kwenyukireya, CIA yakaisa panjodzi yekuzvisimudzira.
Paakazivisa vashandi vedare reSeneti rinoona nezve Operation Merlin, Sterling aipfuura nemunzira kuti aite muridzo. Zvichida aiziva kuti kuita izvi kwaizotsamwisa hutungamiri hweCIA. Makore gumi nemaviri gare gare, sezvo hurumende ichigadzirira kukwikwidza mudare, inguva yekubhadhara muchengetedzo-nyika corral.
Kumhan'arirwa kweSterling kunonangana nevanoridza muridzo neshoko rakakosha rakajeka: Usaburitse chero zvakavanzika "zvekuchengetedzeka kwenyika" izvo zvinoita kuti hurumende yeUS itaridzike isingakwanise, hutsinye, hutsinye kana ngozi. Usatombozvifunga.

Ndiko, nenzira, yambiro inoshanda kune vangangove vazivisi vangada 'kutevera mitemo.' Asi chero zvazvingava, ani zvake anga ari iwo chaiwo masosi kumapepanhau eruzivo nezvekutyorwa kwemhosva kweFourth Amendment, muNSA nyaya, kana nekusagona basa, muCIA nyaya, vakaita basa reruzhinji.
