Max Boot has a good piece [1] today in the LA Times about the ‘Plame Platoon’ (heh – I like that) and how they’ve gone mysteriously silent on ‘leaks which harm our national security’ in light of the recent NYTimes story [2] about the President authorizing ‘eavesdropping’ in the aftermath of 9-11.
Boot knows what I and so many others do regarding the real motivations behind most (not all, but most) of those who were so ‘concerned’ about the Plame ‘leak’ – it’s not really about national security, it’s about nailing the President to the wall on something … anything that will stick.
Even if it harms the very national security they want you to think they are so concerned about.
