Crovitz:
“Metadata collection is about connecting the dots linking potential terrorist accomplices. The Clinton administration created barriers to the use of metadata, which the 9/11 Commission concluded let the terrorists avoid detection. Since then, metadata has helped stop dozens of plots, including an Islamist plan to blow up the New York Stock Exchange in 2008.”
9/11, was, of course, Clinton’s fault-- notwithstanding that it did seem to occur on Bush’s watch.
However, do not doubt that the WSJ will determine that anything that occurs on Obama’s watch is and will always be Obama’s fault.
