Simple Logic

Fire of Liberty

Here's a great piece by William F. Buckley Jr. that pretty much explains the whole NSA controversial that has the feathers of the MSM all ruffled up. It's particularly loved how Mr. Buckley summed up the whole situation with the following:

What is a reasonable verdict from a conservative/libertarian on what happened?

1) The president did his job of attempting to out-maneuver the enemy.

2) The press may have overdone its interceptive curiosity, but it performed the function of a free press.

3) The legislative arm yielded to the demands of national security.

4) The courts, acknowledging a natural division of responsibilities, stayed away.

You'd think all those smart reporters in the MSM would come to the same conclusion but then again they are the MSM.
