close the doors and open some eyes

Matthew Yglesias says the likes of Rockefeller or Harman should call a press conference and start snitchin’. Michael Froomkin suggests that our congressional leaders just take to the floor of the House or Senate—since they are constitutionally protected there—and tell us what they know. Alas, either of these strategies requires a degree of out-loud-and-proud courage that seems to be in short supply in such circles these days, so allow me to suggest a slightly less courageous third way to the truth.
