But these leaks -- about secret prisons in Europe, CIA front companies, and now secret wiretaps, are egregious violations of law and extremely detrimental to our national security. Checks and balances. That is what made our country. Maintaining the delicate balance of power is the most important thing our country has to do in on going struggle to maintain our freedom. Once the Executive branch achieves unchecked powers, they will not give it up. To give up our freedom so that we can fight people who will use box cutters to find ways to hurt us, is a bad bargain.
