Why, immediately destroy the connection by leaking its existence it to Fox News, of course.

Just hours after “two senior officials” in the White House received the info, somebody chose the forgettable 24-hour partisan advantage of saying, whee, lookee what we got! over the obvious national security interest in keeping this backchannel surveillance of Al-Qaeda, which required years to set up, secret and functioning. There are children with better long-term judgment.

My appall-o-gland was exhausted long ago, but this made it twitch like it was 1999 again.  Oh, to be young again and not living under the thrall of these idiots.

Once again, as if it bears repeating for the 237th time: to this bunch, their own political advancement trumps national security, your safety, or any other concern.
