The Cheney folks never screamed about anything. The MSM (like Chris Matthews) presented it as "Cheney sent Wilson". Wilson wanted that idea out there and it succeeded.
It's not my fault that's how the MSM and dems operate.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It is exceedingly odd to find self-identified conservatives working overtime to defend very loose handling of classified information - even, in many instances, resorting to the "no harm, no foul" defense.
Seems to run directly counter to the outrage around here when some Dim Senators named a covert op in committee hearings. I guess whether it is okay to play fast and loose with the identity of CIA operatives depends on whether the leaker is GOP or not.
It is a good illustration of the problem with hewing to party identification over political philosophy.
"[I know you know this, but if they didn't know her role at CIA, they were under an obligation to find out and confirm that it wasn't classified before talking about it to reporters]"
