The Iran covert op "leak"
Just a quick word on the Iran covert op "leak."
The GOP candidates are making absolute hay trying to claim that ABCNews jeopardized national security in its story, but I'd like to point something out.
ABC contacted the Bush administration a bunch of times over six days and was never told not to run the story. Also, notice there's no administration outcry about its publication. (Remember the White House response on the NSA spying and secret prisons?)
I have no concrete evidence, but it looks to me like this "leak" was authorized.
So, although the "traitors among us" rhetoric may play well with the troglodyte base, I would guess that this story is a "leak."
