But one cannot argue, in the case of a man who says that his CIA wife did not send him to Niger, that the proof that his wife did send him to Niger must remain a state secret. If one concerned official can brief the press off the record, then so can another.

Thank God for Hitchens.  He is among the last of the principled Left who put Country before Party and do what has to be done for the long term.

In an era of knee jerk lIberals, he is the last of a dying breed.

Why hasn't Mary O. McCarthy been arrested yet? Cynthia McKinney? Sandy Burglar? Wimpy WIMPY WIMPY country club Republicans, that's why.

the Intelligence Identities Protection Act? It was obvious from the first that the press, in taking Wilson and Plame at their own estimation, was fashioning a rod for its own back. I await the squeals that will follow when this rod is applied, which it will be again and again.

Hmmm... this sounds good to me.

You made my day with this post. Christopher Hitchens writes truth and I'm thrilled he's written about Mary McCarthy illegally disclosing classified information to reporter(s). And most especially, for making us realize Joe Wilson's probable connection to McCarthy and to Dana Goodfellow Priest.

Now, where are our Republican Senators? Where's John McCain who never misses a chance to speak out on everything?

Who discovered her? Was it a Whig?

Hitchens is the very definition of an independent thinker. Wish I was that clever.

Blitzer just made SURE they mention her $2,000 Kerry Contribution, but "Conveniently" forgot to mention the OTHER $7,500 in Contributions to Dems she and her Lawn Care hubby made....

Then the reporter came in and said that you don't leave you political ideas at the door when you come into CIA...

Talk about a BLATANT attempt to bury a controversy. Now they can say "We Covered That!" anytime someone attempts to call them on it!!!!

She's not in handcuffs for two very good reasons. She has more information that she can use as blackmail and if she were charged, she could call her accusers to the stand and interrogate them. The government won't let that happen.

Amazing what 'Rats can get away with when the Chief 'Rats have a J. Edgar Hoover insurance policy.
