They see their part of it and are judging from that. Maybe that is the overall picture and they do see the forest despite the trees. It's a shame they feel they can't be honest or they'll be busted for it. They are, after all, Americans, and in my mind they are the Americans who have the most right to gripe because they are the ones fighting to give us the right to speak freely.
