The September 10th Party

Well, it has happened. The Democratic Party (Chuck Schumer mouthpiece), the ones who whined incessently about the principle of the Plame matter - that leaking the name of a desk jockey at CIA was a dangerous and frightening breach of national security - now expect us to buy the "good leak/bad leak" argument in regards to the NSA story.

Was this somebody who had an ill purpose, trying to hurt the United States, or might it have been someone in the department who felt that this was wrong, legally wrong, that the law was being violated, went to the higher-ups, they did nothing — now it's clear that Mr. Comey and others, serious people who are hardly left-wing ideologues, had doubts about the program — and then, in exasperation, went to the media?

WALLACE: Senator Schumer, you're certainly not going to say exasperation is an excuse for leaking classified information.

SCHUMER: No, no, no. I am saying the type of punishment, the type of investigation — there are differences between felons and whistleblowers, and we ought to wait till the investigation occurs to decide what happened.

Now is when we will find out how the left really feels about leaking national security secrets. My feeling is that we will see none of the righteous indignation that has filled every statement about the Plame Affair.

Could there be any better demonstration that the Democrats remain the party of September 10?
