As we see watch the unfolding Blackwater scandal taken on by the NY Times, lest we get too excited, recall this exchange:

The media has scoffed at the charges of Blackwater crimes from the beginning. I’m not sure what it will take to change this. They are obviously a criminal enterprise. We’ve known that for years. I just don’t think anyone cares. And even if they did, they believe pursuing the story would be too “distracting.”

Because you know how much the village hates distractions.
