Explosion to follow …

The Fuse Has Been Lit: Seven Critical Points on Uncle Sam’s Spying Program.

People know, in their bones, that unaccountable government is bad government; as Patrick Henry said more than two centuries ago, “The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.”  So when Obama said, on Friday, “I welcome this debate and I think it's healthy for our democracy,” we might ask right back: Mr. President, if you welcome this debate so much, why didn’t you begin the debate yourself?  Why did you wait until PRISM was leaked?  
Precisely the question I asked when I heard the President make his preposterous remark.
