This article made me ask why righties insist that "big" government is dysfunctional and can't run social welfare programs e.g. social security/welfare/jobs programs but yet can be trusted to run secret wiretap programs, torture etc etc.

The inverse of the question is that why lefties insist that big government social programs are great and government is a beneficent character in our lives yet don't trust it to monitor/surveil internal threats.
Cliff notes of the article
rivate company notified govt of a video that it received from one of its sources. Within the day, a leak with the Bush Admin alerted the news media and AQ was alerted of a leak within it's org.
