Hearing you speak really brings it to life. The voice in my own head doesn't do your words justice.

What a meaningful tribute. Just like the fear of ridicule and ostracization has eased among those who come out of the closet, today Mr Reiss might have realized it was time to break down that rigid compartment and let family and co-workers know of his passion, and so become much more unique to them all. The report recently issued by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence may not have offered much information, but perhaps its most important contribution is that it may set a tableau that will let others like Mr. Reiss come in from the cold and use their knowledge, passion, and expertise to go where the military clearly doesn't want to.
