“Holder/Obama want it leaked. Too bad for them they did not think through the timing. “
“If it were really a security issue it would not have been allowed to be leaked.”
These are factual statements. But they would be met with a shrug of the shoulders by our political class . The fact is that the preservation of the Constitution and our national security have no meaning to these people.
The reaction to our Defense establishment to the Fort Hood Massacre was that the “real tragedy” was the possible harm that would come to “diversity” (not the deaths of service members, their families, and civilian workers). Our politicians and the media probably feel that the people at Wanky Leaks just serve to enrich this diversity, just as long as things don’t spin out of control too fast.
Our “leaders” have allowed habeas corpus rights for foreign combatants, in a departure from more than 200 years of precedence. Miranda rights have been read to prisoners in Afghanistan.
On the domestic “front”, our State Dept submitted a report to the UN a couple of weeks ago crediting itself with meeting the UN’s Human Rights standards by opposing Arizona’s intention of enforcing Federal immigration laws at its borders.
That’s where it’s going, IMHO. Not that Obama or the rest of our government class wants sudden military defeat or a total implosion of our economy tomorrow. Above all they are about control, and that requires some patience.
