Where to begin.
Of course, there is the ongoing irony of Bush insisting he will not tolerate leaks, while leaking the identity of a CIA agent. At least.
Then today we hear that a CIA agent has been fired for leaking information about our secret overseas prisons. You know; the embarrassing expose that won Dana Priest the Pulitzer.
This guy exposes a probable crime against humanity, and he's fired. Karl Rove commits a crime by exposing a CIA agent for revenge against a dissenter (who just happens to be the agent's husband), and he was promoted. Remember? Deputy Chief of Staff after stealing another election? Even after being heavily implicated in the scandal. This week's demotion was, well, damage control, on so many dimensions.
But now, folks, we have yet another example of selective leaking from our sinking ship of state with the newly arranged deck chairs.
Seems none other than Condi - our Secretary of State - has been "accused" of leaking secrets to AIPAC in a manner no different than how a Pentagon official shared secrets with an Isreali lobbyist. That official is now serving 12 years.
Interestingly, the defense in the case is apparently trying to say that, because Condi did this, it shows (a) that this is how business is done in DC, and (b) it is therefore ok.
Just like Bush saying, if he leaks, it's ok; he was just informing his subjects.
But I'm quibbling over annoying details here when there are oh so many more annoying details to explore.
It's just really hard to keep up and keep 'em all straight.

Bush Defector To Demolish 911 Lies On May 6
http://gwb-one-and-only.tribe.net/thread/90d460cd-7106-4d7d-b60d-cc2c37ae8e59#7ba72a2e-74b8-4462-b36a-3c807cbc366d
The former top economist in Bush's Department of Labor, Morgan Reynolds, will speak out on the 9/11 inside job at the State Historical Society, University of Wisconsin-Madison on Saturday, May 6th. The film Loose Change will be shown, and refreshments served, starting at 1 p.m, and Reynolds will speak at 3:00 p.m.
Dr. Reynolds, who holds three U.W.-Madison degrees, and who is currently Professor of Economics at Texas A&M University, will present evidence that top Bush Administration officials orchestrated the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center, and the murder of almost 2,500 Americans, as a pretext for initiating their pre-planned "long war" in the Middle East.
It's amazing that the right can put on a straight face when discussing all the leaks. Bush, Rove, Cheney, and now Condi all leak classified info or names of CIA agents and break the law But do they get punished for it? Of course not.
A CIA whistleblower takes the fall, is held in close confinement, forced to take a lie detector test, supposedly is the "leaker" of the CIA gulag info, gets fired, and now will be lynched by the right fore her many sins, which includes serving in the Clinton admin.
That's sick man, just plain sick.
