Criminal leaks

[SuperScout]

"Leaking classified information is a crime punishable with prison time. The statutes are on the books, folks. Those who leak classified information and those who publicize it should go to jail," writes Ralph Peters of the New York Post.
"The latest example was a selective leak from a National Intelligence Estimate. ... The leak wasn't about some phony 'right to know.' It was a political stunt performed for political gain. And now our enemies know what our intelligence community thinks. Gee, thanks. We don't need to know what intelligence documents say. What matters is what our leaders do or fail to do.
"What will it take to inspire a nonpartisan crackdown on those who betray our secrets, who selfishly expose our country to mortal danger?" Mr. Peters asks.
"This shouldn't be a Democratic or Republican issue. It's an American issue. Keeping our country safe is more important than Senator Sweetspot's re-election campaign or a Pulitzer Prize for another self-adoring, America-loathing journalist. Put 'em in the slammer. Where these criminals belong. Enforce our laws. And maybe -- just maybe -- folks in Washington will start obeying those laws again."

And to hear da dims, they are more interested in insisting that terrorists are afforded the same constitutional rights that we citizens have than in finding out the criminals who leaked the report for obvious political gain. And da dims wonder why people believe them to be soft on terrorism? They are not only soft, they are squishy.
