E Pluribus Unum

There's always another side to every story.

Medium Lobster:

Were it not for the New York Times, the American people would never have been menaced by this rogue information. Oh, terrorists would still be aware the U.S. was trying to wiretap them, but they wouldn't know it was trying to wiretap them illegally.

Now that information has fallen into enemy hands, and it could be used to orchestrate the most dangerous attacks on the American government the United States has ever known: censure, Congressional hearings, or even an independent investigation -- all of which could prove devastating in the Global War Against the President's Approval Ratings.

And make no mistake, my friends: that is exactly the war we must fight when we confront the teeming terrorist hordes. For how can America's troops maintain their fighting spirit when their Commander-in-Chief is polling in the mid-thirties?
