The Absurdity of Victor Davis Hanson

By Ed Brayton

Victor Davis Hanson is not a stupid guy, which is why I think this claim is more likely just a flat out distortion and that he damn well knows it:

FISA and wire-intercepts of terrorist communications in the pre-Obama president months were once derided as more of Ashcroft-Bush stomping on the Constitution -- except that now ABC News reports that, in fact, US intelligence agencies supplied India with general knowledge of the rough time period, place, and perhaps even method of terrorist attack. Are we to believe that such newfound capability to warn a country 7000 miles away about terrorist infiltration on its borders would be of no utility here at home?
