We have not ignored Mr. Mark, by the way. He offers up
CW about MMMMMMMMMM-IIIIIIIIII-THREEEEEEEEEE that any Web surfer could have gleaned a week ago Saturday. And once again he runs

It is true, as the old World War II saying goes, that "loose lips sink ships." But by refusing to tolerate an open discussion of new rules post-9/11, the Bush team lost a chance to gain public support for the necessary trade-off between security and privacy. Figuring out how to track and find Internet-savvy terrorists is a daunting task. Government officials—even the superspooks of the NSA—need all the help they can get....that make us yearn for a day without newsrags.
