Newt is throwing Timmy a curve ball. Timmy brings up Newt's comment to Colmes that this is defending the indefensible (the NSA program). Newt says it's a question of not getting out in front and explaining it in advance (which is really stupid, since you don't want people to know your sources and methods). Timmy is not getting what he wants on the NSA issue so he moves on. LOL.

I took from Newt's comment on H&C was he was upset that the admin was not out front with explaining the NSA phone numbers, not of the program itself. Colmes in his usual fashion just spun it his way, and Sean went off at Newt agreeing with Allan.

It was kind of like his SD speech. They took one comment and spun it, never listened to what he actually meant.

Remember when he was bit#$ing about the State Dept??? He was talking about the career bureaucrats and everyone spun it that he was complaining about Colin Powell

Qwest's Newest Hero - Their Indicted CEO ->Betsy Newmark's great expose:

Couple of days ago, when Chris Mathews was at his highest shrill level - called in Ken Salazaar(D) & congratulated his home-state company Quest for refusing to cooperate in data collection.

It 's worth noting however, that Joseph Nacchia, the former CEO of Qwest, is now being portrayed as this great hero of our civil liberties. Just a few months ago, he was indicted for insider trading.

Re: getting out in front and explaining in advance

Bob Tyrrell said that Churchill wrote his 6 volume memoir, for which he won a Nobel Prize, and never mentioned the existence of Enigma or cracking the Japanese code. His books were Censored by the British Government years after WWII, in the interest of not giving away an advantage to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
