Masters of the Obvious

Did these folks go to J-School, apprentice at some obscure newspapers with the hopes of being the next WoodStein and then get hired by the "bigs" only to make stunning observations like this?

The Bush administration's uneven decision-making on which sensitive documents it declassifies has prompted criticism that the White House is selectively releasing information to bolster its foreign policy agenda and respond to political pressure.
...
Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), ranking member of the committee, criticized Goss yesterday for bypassing what she said were normal House procedures in seeking declassification.

"This is a stunning violation that can only feed the impression that sensitive materials are being selectively declassified for political reasons, rather than national security or the public interest," Harman said. "The message this sends is that for partisan political reasons, classified material can be reviewed and selectively released."

I guess when the supposedly "independant" press has spent enough time sleeping with those that they are supposed to be watching, and now all bets are off...and the de facto dictatorship becomes complete. Why then, are they acting so surprised by the tactics of the 1600 Crew?

I guess they're hoping no one will notice they have not really done their jobs since about 1995, they have just been the repeaters of the republican blast-fax machine output. I wonder what got them awakened, or are they really? Or is it all just an act to lull the sheeples?

There is obviously a clash between national security and re-election security. Selective declassification may call for self-help to assure that such is not out of context.
