I agree it is a poor title. However, IMO the issue isn't so much the talk about it, but the impotence of the scrutiny. It's akin to the what followed the financial crisis. Even when culpability can be established, the political arena has created a firewall around the actors. As an example, today the SCOTUS made it more difficult to take the US government to task for secret surveillance. We have a long tradition of practicing exceptionalism overseas, but now we are applying exceptionalism at home.
