Quality not quantity
In defense of the Bush administration’s illegal wire tapping policy, we have this quote from The New York Times:
I can say unequivocally that we have gotten information through this program that would not otherwise have been available. — Micheal Hayden, N.S.A. Director.
Well, yes, by definition I’m sure that wire tapping would give you information that is not otherwise available — but was any of it useful? According to Keith Olbermann (Countown, MSNBC) credible sources say “no,” attributing a former F.B.I. agent with saying “you get 1,000 numbers and not one is turning up anything.”
It’s as bad as the Alito hearings. Is there some secret educational facility that everyone in the Bush administration attends? A place where they teach you how to speak a lot but say nothing at all?
