Apology

Several weeks ago I made a few nasty comments about Professor Bainbridge. However, despite the fact that a cursory search failed to locate it there, I am informed that Bainbridge said the following about the NY Times role in the NSA spying story. He basically said they had done the country a service because:

"Leaks are a fact of life. ... So let's think about the merits. Coercive interrogations. A gulag of secret prisons. And now warrantless surveillance. We're supposed to be better than this. ... It's enough to make me think about making a Christmas donation to the ACLU."

I take back (almost) anything nasty I said about the professor.
