"We Want to Get to the Bottom of This"

TPMtv has a great montage highlighting how seriously George W. Bush and the administration take security leaks.  Normally I wouldn't link to a highlight reel, but it seems like we've got to keep items like this front and center.  The problem with scandals these days is that in a couple of minutes we've found something else to focus on, whether it's work related, home and family, or recreational or entertainment oriented.  That's exactly what this administration is counting on: that outrage is nothing more than a flicker at the edge of our vision, like when somebody steps in front of the tv screen during the ballgame.  We yell about it for a second and then forget.
