On January 25, the CIA provided the State Department with what White House spokesman Mike McCurry now calls "new information"--information about Alpirez that was at the very least potent enough to prompt the CIA to begin an internal investigation.

This will undoubtedly prompt a second neo-Orwellian howl to accompany an elitist shudder over entrusting the people -- the booboisie as a 21st century cybermob. But overall, the favorable balance that should result is compelling...
