Prosecuting the NSA whistleblowers will destroy Bush.

This is hubris, this is the final, fatal error, a result of their blindness, their overestimate of their power.

Prosecuting the leakers will create a court case to make the OJ trial seem lame and uninteresting. Every day for months, the headlines, what the NSA was doing, the leakers will be revealed as sympathetic, loyal, patriotic career public servants shocked by what they were witnessing.

The court will be forced to rule on the legality of what Bush was doing. headlines, headlines, headlines. Endless appeals. The issue will be stinking up the air every day till 2008.

Its a stupid thing to do. Its idiotic, as idiotic as invading Iraq with less than 300,000 troops, is idiotic as trying to screw with social security, as idiotic as ignoring the report that Bin Laden was determined to strike in the US. As stupid as the Schiavo mess.

These people are massively incompetent, and it will destroy them. They prosecute this case, they have a tiger by the tail.

The conservative judge in charge of the Masouai case has turned against them, imagine how much more sympathetic these NSA people are going to be? They will be fighting a much steeper uphill battle in this case. They will lose.
