If the equivalent of the Pentagon Papers came out now

1) No one would believe them.
2) Even if they beleived them, they wouldn't be very important to anyone.
3) CBS would hold back stories on it for fear of being percieved as unpatriotic.

Anything else I forgot?

2. Part of the problem is...

3. They would be confiscated as a "threat to our security".

by a whisker.

5. Maybe you forgot the smear campaign

against whoever released them.

It's like shrub seems invincible at this moment. He can, and has, gotten away with anything/everything.

6. Basically you got it, yeah.

I think about Watergate and it seems like tiddly winks compared to shit going on now, and they made a big deal about it (rightly so). Now it's like, fuck, who cares, pass me the 3-D Cool Ranch Doritos.
