What say you?
According to Democrats, someone at the New York Times must be punished.
I mean, if someone had to be punished for outing Valerie Plame, then the same holds true for the New York Times, right?
Or are Democrats and the New York Times hypocrites?
Rhetorical question.
Just the tip of the iceberg showing itself again.
Plame was outed by the CIA itself, which means it was a fake controversy, which is to say, “yet” another fake controversy. Meanwhile the Times printed on page one details about CIA operations one right after another. Details about how we were tracking Al Qaeda money transfers, tracking Bin Ladin’s satellite telephone, details about Al Qaeda cell phone communications, details about prisoner transfers, CIA safe houses, even ID numbers on CIA flights and aircraft. Those were real security breaches perpetrated by insiders who used the Times as their safe drop. Their handlers could read all about it over tea and no one had to run any risk of getting caught and imprisoned.
It disturbs me that no one went to jail over any of this.
So exposing CIA connections to Karzai’s family is not surprising. Its not surprising that CIA has a relationship with them, and its not surprising that traitors on the inside would expose it and its not surprising that the Times would let itself be used for the information transfer. Its what they do.
For the life of me, I could never figure out all the feigned outrage over Plame. It was the biggest non-story I have seen in my life.
Where the HELL are the GOP DEMANDING an investigation? The dems demanded investigations into EVERYTHING associated with president Bush, but the GOP has apparently had their tongues cut out even in the face of BLATANT VIOLATIONS by democrats and the president- the current GOP is a sad shell of the party it once was!
