Hypocrites

Jon Alter's been eating his Wheaties:

Feb. 10, 2006 - Poor Porter Goss. First, the longtime Florida congressman leaves his safe seat to become director of the CIA, only to find that he’s been neutered by a new bureaucratic setup where he reports to John Negroponte, the director of national intelligence. Then he writes an op-ed piece decrying intelligence leaks in The New York Times on Friday, the exact same day as a story appears identifying today’s biggest leaker of antiterrorism secrets in Washington — President George W. Bush.

This is precisely right. The preznit and his junta leak classified info all the time when they think it will benefit them politically. That's what he was doing when he talked about that alleged LA plot, and it's what they were doing when they blew Valerie Plame's cover. For them to whine about leaks is nothing more than hypocrisy. Good to see someone from the corporate media call bullshit.
