Spitzer hit, Bin Ladin missed

ABC is running a multi-pager on SatPhone intercepts against targets in the Green Zone and elsewhere, and predictably the ABC's coverage centers on things like phone sex between consenting US national adults, rather than a tentative timing cross correlation between things that went wrong and resources spent on getting "intelligence" on phone sex.

A background read is Steve Peacock's piece on his blog.

Wicked dumb priorities, not to mention compromising the IRC and MSF and others, which is worse than dumb, we need them not just now, for this pissing contest, but as on going institutions, independent of the best, and the worst, US politics.
