As I said leftists are all up in arms about the outing of a single CIA desk jockey, but they celebrate when whole CIA projects are outed:
HUGE: Secret CIA prison in Europe!!!!
WaPo goes on, great story, but refused to ID the Eastern European country in this article after a request from Bush administration officials.
What would YOU do? I am a journalist. I would name the country. I am NOT in the business of keeping the dirty secrets of the Bush administration’s dirty war.
So I have a beef with WaPo on their call on that one.
Translation from traitorese: “I would have betrayed my country even more quickly and deeply.” Their WaPo link appears broken, here’s one that works for now:
Report: CIA Has Secret al-Qaida Prison
The hidden global internment network is a central element in the CIA’s unconventional war on terrorism, the Post said. It depends on the cooperation of foreign intelligence services, and on keeping even basic information about the system secret from the public, foreign officials and nearly all members of Congress charged with overseeing the CIA’s covert actions.
“We prove our patriotism by disclosing our country’s covert activities to the world.” a WaPo spokesman was quoted as saying.
The press is doing their job. Some bonehead with loose lips is not.
Doing their job? For Plame the highest heads must roll! For this … will anybody investigate the leak? Will they call for a special prosecutor? Doing their job as leftist partisans, that’s right.
Looks like they are going to investigate this. Oops, looks like the leaker is a GOPer. Guess youre right, they only investigate when its a republican.
If you are looking for a traitor, look within the ranks FEEDING the media stories. The media will report anything that comes from a remotely reliable source.
I don’t care who’s doing the leaking. Investigate, prosecute. Resources aren’t infinite. They should prioritize by severity of damage.
