Well, no, it isn’t metaphor. In fact, it is completely irrelevant. The Pentagon Papers were a series of policy documents that outlined the government’s gyrations that led to a justification for direct, overt action in Cambodia and Laos without the consent of the Congress.

Little Eddie released documentation of the collection of metadata previously approved by the Patriot Act and acknowledged by the NSA. Yes, yes, there were some embarrassing specifics, but all predictable given the latitude of the original legislation.

For those of us who had been following the bouncing ball over the years, the revelations were as shocking as the last scene in Casablanca.

But—-we’ll always have Paris!
