re: #46 Charles Johnson

This seems to me to be the best solution in a morally murky situation. If there’s ever any evidence that these expanded executive powers are being abused, though, all hell will break loose.

And they can be made a mess of even without intent to abuse. If a dim wingnut who has the “best intentions” is unable to sort through the intel and tell the shoddy stuff apart from the real stuff, it will still lead to grievous consequences.

Which is why it’s crucial not to let wingnuts head the process.
