Via WaPo: White House Working to Avoid Wiretap Probe

I am to the point (and have been there for quite a while) where I am unconvinced that the administration wants to avoid a serious probe of this program simply to avoid to possibility of sensitive information being released.

The virtues of divided government come to mind in watching this particular dance. Of course, I fear that if we had divided government that the inquiries would be motivated more by partisan score-seeking than truth-seeking, just as the current reticence against a serious inquiry is clearly motivated by partisan sentiments as well.
