Dampening the echo chamber

Some things are simply worth preserving, such as this quote from a Democrat who is not unhinged (which you wouldn't think exists, if you follow the Manhattan media):

As the Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, I have been briefed since 2003 on a highly classified NSA foreign collection program that targeted Al Qaeda. I believe the program is essential to US national security and that its disclosure has damaged critical intelligence capabilities.

But shame on the Powerline boys for failing to note the source, or explain that it's their original reporting.
