4. Accordingly, any questioning of it was misplaced an unwise.
Now, 3 I could see, but seems pretty thin, as there are plenty of ways to reach bin Laden through less public channels of communication (e.g., unnamed sources, counterintelligence "chatter"). Likewise for any diplomatic issues. If there truly is a problem with sovereignty issues, why is Goss making public statements about it as opposed to having Condi Rice make the proper inquiries? If someone's dicking you over, and you want them to change, you don't say it in public.
As for 4, why bother with a politics board if not? For that matter, why bother with debate and dissent in Congress?
Did paigow get to you over the weekend?

Stop asking so many questions. You'll fuck up the
plan. Remember Nixon's secret plan to end the Vietnam war? Well, everybody started getting all nosy and asking questions and things and pretty soon -- poof! No plan.
Why can't you put petty partisanship to one side and simply trust that your Government has a crafty plan? It's not like they ever fucked anything up before. Jeez.
