Any specific examples of Homeland being racist or whatever? Genuinely curious.

I may be totally offbase here, but isn't there some serious recourse for saying you're going to release classified documents and then following through? Or is it just the original source of the leak that faces consequences?

In today's world, everything related to leaking info is illegal unless the government says so. They would just hold Ms. Reporter in a tiny, bright cell in some supermax prison until she gave up her source.

I think executing her was put on the table as soon as she murdered her case officer and let the attack go forward. If she would've kept to her original story, they probably would've tried to flip her or throw her in a hole until an opportunity for an exchange came up with the Russians.

I think the people taking her to Russia probably had some sort of diplomatic immunity. If they confronted them directly, it might cause an "incident."
