Who to trust?

I guess I have a choice on the ports controversy. I can trust the collective judgment of dozens of administration officials in a variety of departments who are familiar with the facts, have access to all the details, are charged with the professional obligation to protect us, and have demonstrated a commitment in the past to upholding their obligations.

Or, I can listen to politicians such as Hillary, Chuck and the wackos, journalists with a long track record of incompetence and misjudgment, and bloggers known to hyperventilate at a moment's notice.

Hmmmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

After considering the choices, it seems clear there really is only one sensible choice.
