"Aid and comfort to the enemy" -- the new red meat

Chew over this:

If the furor over the port deal should go on, Mr. England said, it would give enemies of the United States aid and comfort: “They want us to become distrustful, they want us to become paranoid and isolationist.”

So, reporting news from Iraq about IEDs might help the enemy. Criticizing the administration gives aid and comfort to the enemy. I guess letting the American people know anything unflattering about the Bush administration would be playing right into the hands of "They".
