Out of My Mind

Those who forget history are doomed yada yada yada. Those who don't bother to learn from history are just plain dopes. So here, a simple lesson to keep things in perspective:

The Pentagon Papers and Watergate: leakers used to reveal government misdeeds (to say the least).

"Plamegate:" Leakers used journalists to spread lies about, well, about other government lies, to keep the truth hidden from the citizenry.

Anyone who can't see a difference has a problem -- and that means we have a problem.
