Just exchanged email with a liberal friend who defended her with the usual "speaking truth to power" arguments. He was glad she "spoke out" about torture in secret prisons. Because I objected to her law-breaking, I was, ergo in favor of torture. And that THIS administration needs to learn how to deal with dissent. I feel like I was tortured.

Liberals run on feelings... Laws and facts are of no use to them.

Tell your liberal friend that has not been established, just speculation by talking heads, that McCarthy leaked the "secret overseas prisons" where alleged torture was conducted.

Furthermore, It has not been confirmed by the CIA that secret prisons ever existed. The EU Intelligence office, investigated, and could not find any evidence that any secret prison existed.

The CIA claims McCarthy leaked classified info. and made unauthorized contacts with reporters. The CIA moreover claim she even admitted to releasing classified while being interrogated, after failing polygraph test(s).

Ask your friend if it makes sense to amend the CIA employment contract to include the following:

"You may leak confidential matters if you are opposed to government policy, if you feel honor-bound to do so, or if you have a grudge against management."

Then ask them if our allies would want to share any of their secrets with an agency that had such an employment agreement.
