Where is the outrage?
by Bryan Strawser
I’m just wondering and all.. but considering all of the flap over the Valerie Plame leak investigation and all….
Since real classified information was leaked in this case – and that leak caused irreparable harm to a program that appears to be generating actionable intelligence…
Where’s the outrage over this disclosure of highly classified information? Where are the calls for a special prosecutor?
I’m just wondering.. that’s all…
Exposing Valerie Plame’s identity was not a case of someone outing illegal behaviour.
Exposing the President’s illegal wiretaps is a case of someone exposing illegal behaviour.
I see a huge difference here. If no one had ratted on Nixon, he never would have been busted for Watergate. Would that have been good?
Did the leaks around Nixon involve the disclosure of a a highly classified signals intelligence program?
No.
