Smart politicians will not go anywhere near the issue of what the NSA does and how it does it. Exploiting or exposing the nations clandestine capabilities for political gain is a losing position in my book for any politician or journalist.
Attorney General Gonzales was right in his testimony before the politicians (who favor power over security) as reported here.
"Our enemy is listening," Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales told the
Judiciary Committee at the start of a day-long hearing into the National
Security Agency's warrantless monitoring of Americans' phone calls and e-mails
with foreign-based people suspected of terrorist ties. "And I cannot help but
wonder if they aren't . . . smiling at the prospect that we might now disclose
even more, or perhaps even unilaterally disarm ourselves of a key tool in the
war on terror."
