I've been saying all along that it's a GOOD thing the President isn't jumping on the "Toss the NYT folks in jail right away" bandwagon, and this is one of the reasons why--the American public is seeing just what the Dems really think of our security. And 9-11/WOT/security is still THE issue that's going to determine this election--all other issues are second to this.
The Dummies can't help themselves; they had an oppportunity to seize the Congress this year and they're blowing it.
