'revealing details'

Why is National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell talking publicly about classified details of government surveillance?

Can you imagine the insanity of an judge -- ostensibly, an American judge, at that -- ruling that a warrant was required if the government was monitoring communications between foreigners on a US communications network?

That's like rooting against the home team, which is this case is your own country. How despicable is that?

Maybe the publicity will prompt citizens to mobilize, to contact their elected representatives and put pressure on Congress to make the job of killing terrorists/foiling terrorist plots easier, not tougher.
