Tinfoil Hats

Like Kevin, I tend to be pretty skeptical of the many tinfoil hat theories that seem particularly contagious in the blogosphere. And I still don't know what to make of this claim that the Pakistani government was pressured to make and publicize a high profile terrorism arrest during the Democratic National Convention.

But if the story is true (which would, by the way, confirm my worst possible fears about this administration), it certainly hasn't gone according to plan. Already this morning, the news of the capture is off the front page of CNN and MSNBC, and barely registers even at FOXNews. Either the media has decided that this election is too important to let it be bumped by less-than-Osama arrests, or they for once have seen through blatant politicization of an important national security task, and are refusing to take part.
