I had a whole bunch of vitriol last night. I didn't post it. Glenn Greenwald is mostly interested in people knowing what Glenn Greenwald thinks. On the one hand, you have an administration rallying around a vital part of the intelligence apparatus that, good or bad (I think bad), is overstepping on the civil rights of Americans in the name of national security. On the other hand, you've got an inexperienced administration that is demonstrably and repeatedly being manipulated by a foreign power.

Damon Linker had an article about why the leaks were a bad thing and he's pretty liberal. But we're talking about an administration that meets with Israel without the State Department there. What the fuck are they supposed to do besides shoot the fuckers in the dark?
