Undernews: Infrequently asked questions:
"Why - as the president claims - does a constitutional right such as freedom of the press have to be "balanced" against bureaucratic procedures such as classifying something as secret, especially when such classifications are often done for political reasons or to avoid embarrassment? Where does the Constitution refer to this? And which Harvard law professor taught Obama he could get away with it?"
Meanwhile, according to the Globe this morning, Attorney General Eric Holder says this business about bugging the AP's phones is ‘‘an ongoing matter and an ongoing matter in which I know nothing’’ but, nonetheless the result of ‘‘a very serious leak, a very grave leak.’’ Scary stuff. Way too scary for you, Bunky. So just shut up.
Speaking of shutting up, as some may have noticed I've been reading the Boston Globe recently, one of those papers that hunkers behind a paywall. So I am no longer providing links to Globe stories because nothing is more annoying than a link to a story behind paywall unless you count Attorney General Eric Holder, which I am not doing in this one special case.
Going to actually look up the relevant story in the Globe is work, which I am fairly confident you will not do. No way will I.
