Please read it, sign below, and forward the link to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

Stewart Baker, former general counsel of the NSA: “When I was in government and I read some press story about the foreign adversaries we were spying on, I knew our enemies would read the same story. They would go back through their communications to find the message we had intercepted… Sooner or later, we’d pay a price — a price that would never be known by the cheerily iconoclastic reporters, so proud of wresting their story from the heart of overweening authority or the climbing officials who tossed them the intelligence to curry their favor.”
Mr. Baker’s characterization of reporters frightens me. It gives us a clue to the culture of our government, which at times of crisis, devaules the very principles which it was designed to defend. The generalization of reporters as ‘cheery iconoclasts‘, gives us a clue about the attitudes of the people who will be behind the scenes in the upcoming ‘war’.
