Well, Lyndie did just about everything else, so....

National Security =~ Proprietary Information =~ "We just don't want to tell you, Ok?"

The job of the press is to figure out WHY they don't want to tell people stuff, and I'm wondering if there are any members of the fourth estate still capable of sorting that out. Is politics, or any any industry for that matter, possible to understand in full detail by anyone not directly, vocationally, involved? Do we have a political class, or need one? Razor's edge specialization has changed education and employment in recent history... If politics has followed the same path, what does that say about the job of the media? Are the press doomed to be political play-things from now on?

It's funny to watch media industry codgers look down their noses at blogging and the internet in this sort of light...

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
