Why the media is panicked over NSA datamining

ABC's news blog, The Blotter sums it up: Our security agencies would be able to track back to the source of any leak... in other words, they could find out who's been breaking the law to undermine national security.

If I were part of the Hearst rebirth, the unelected would-be policy-makers, I'd be quaking in my shoes, too.


ooops! I forgot to give credit where due: The Volokh Conspiracy and a coupla others I can't recall but are on my daily list (see blogroll) pointed toward this lovely revelation.
