You know i hate to say this but The folks in the media haven't learned by Sept 11th. And the damage that has been done to our national security by this anti of outing the NSA is just down right treason in my opinion.
I heard on the radio that the second the story broke the cell phone calls to the terrorist dropped swiftly and dramatically just the same as how Osama stopped using his phone when they plastered that head line.
Bottom line is. I hope in the next terror attack, its the people that compromised our security that are hurt and not more innocent people. Its just a shame that they are so driven by hatred that they can't see the forrest though the trees.
FWIW, that might be useful information too. After all, only terrorists would curtail their cell phone usage in response to that story. Find out who had the "now quiet" lines, and you have some terrorists.
