Who Are They?
This Administration's opponents are very obviously indifferent to the recklessness in reporting leaked information from supposedly secret agencies. It's such a rash of this tattling lately, it has to be the product of collusion between Big Media and some very strange political interests.

More than four years out from the atrocities of 11 September 2001 and it's nothing at all to forget what put us there: our ignorance of what our enemies are capable of.

I am now long-lived and matured enough to recognize something in the pattern of American society's attitudes and collective recollection of its own history that cannot be appreciated by the young: the recurrence of hypocrisies on such an enormous scale that they are almost entirely clean of responsibility.

But we do know that individuals are responsible.

We know that the fifth column is in its place and holding things up.
