Ok, I just read something by Greg Sargent. I have to say, his post is downright silly. (I'm sure I'll hear all about this from several people).
Here's why: It's a very long, very speculative description of an FBI spokesman refusing to confirm or deny what investigative tool(s) are being used in the leak investigations. Specifically, the speculation that National Security Letters might possibly, potentially, maybe, sort of, could be being used. In a way. Or not.
But it sounds all very mysterious and very dramatic and very heroic, what with shining light into dense fog and what not.
And you know what that long post boils down to? An FBI spokesman will not discuss methodology of an ongoing investigation with a reporter.
So what? Why in the world would they discuss any aspect of an ongoing investigation with a reporter?
Just plain silly.
