There's a bunch of fretting over the presentability of Crazy A's new blog. Well let me pre-empt the biggest bomb he can drop on American citizens and the West. What he can do, or anyone could conceivably do to undermine confidence of the American electorate in their government. That is to divulge American state secrets discovered by Iran.
Imagine a scenario in which some information about which the American insurgents at Kos or Firedoglake (for gratuitous example) were being widely denounced by the political powers that be, us. Let's say they argued in moonbatese that the Downing Street Memo for example was proof positive of some debatable point. We go back and forth with our various accusations of treachery and then Boom, the head of the Iran drops a hot document onto his blog that provides corroboration. It would be an incredibly bold and destructive move, one that could further destabilize the chatting classes of the West. We already have ingrown mistrust of government and the mainstream media, what if our fears were confirmed by the enemy? What if the enemy becomes a more reliable source of transparency than our own government? What if, in order to keep our loyalty, our government had to lie about the truth other governments were divulging?
It could happen.
