I find it very interesting that the administration is resorting to this. It's almost an admission of guilt, at least in the mind of the great unwashed who's experience with the 5th is most likely limited to Hollywood mobsters and the like (think Dick Wolf). I'll certainly conceed that there's more to it than my over-simplification, but I think this is a mistake for everyone outside The Beltway.
