Powerline Blog highlighted this interesting observation last night that I think has a LOT of merit: The left continues to undermine national security in the most despicable, cynical way. I'm quite sure the reasonable liberals at the NYT and WaPo know full well that programs like this are absolutely vital, and their secrecy is likewise vital. However, they have made the most anti-American and evil sort of decision: While tools like this are vital for saving American lives, they will not permit any Republican President to use them.

Only Democratic Presidents are permitted to employ the full panoply of powers for protecting American lives. It's blackmail, pure and simple. Either let a Democrat into the White House, or we will continue to sabotage American security and, in effect, kill Americans. We will keep secrets when a Democrat is in office, but not a Republican. So we offer the American people a choice: Let the politicians we favor run the country, or we will help Al Qaeda murder you.

What the NYT is doing IS blackmail.

THIS DESERVES TO BE POSTED AGAIN AND AGAIN, FAR AND WIDE!

Your comment is as chilling as it is accurate. That is spot on right. And DEFINITELY does need to be repeated.
