Mouthpiece
On yesterday’s Fox News Sunday program, Juan Williams told Chris Wallace that Mary McCarthy’s leaking of classified information was an “act of conscience.” If that were so, Wallace asked, the why did she do it surreptitiously? If McCarthy’s so interested in the health of the Republic, she ought to be willing to do so under her own name.
Williams’ response? It was because McCarthy “had a relationship” with Dana Priest, the Washington Post reporter who just won a Pulitzer Prize for this seditious horseshit earlier this month.
Huh? How is that a mitigating explanation or even an excuse? All that says to me is that certain members of the intelligence community see it as their right to propagandize the public —and to use Big Media to settle scores— by illegally leaking information.
I hope Porter Goss fires some more of these al-Qaedist sympathizers.
