Great Minds Think Alike

This ties into the domestic spying business. I can’t believe that President Bush can claim, with a straight face, that the details of domestic spying need to be kept secret, so as not to tip off terrorists living in the US. Remember folks, these people are devoting their lives to stopping what, in their mind, is evil incarnate, the carpet-bombing, dictator-installing, WMD-story-fabricating, atom-bomb-inventing-and-dropping, US world empire. Do you really think that these people wouldn’t take safeguards to protect their email from the FBI and CIA, until they were tipped off by the New York Times?

In other words, none of the information that was released, as far as I know, ought to have endangered any spying operation, because from the standpoint of anyone for whom it would be justified for us to spy on, they would likely suspect that we were spying on them anyway. The only extra information they would have now is that such spying might be occurring without judicial review.

That is all.
