Jail Time [Mary McCarthy]

I can't read any farther than this:

We are at war. Every American, regardless of his job, has a duty to protect the interests of this nation and to place his loyalty to our nation above his own career or political agenda. We aren't talking about Washington gossip, little secrets leaked by little people to raise their status from a "B-list" guest to the "A-list" for the right cocktail parties. We are talking about the essentials for fighting this war that, if revealed as the NSA program and the CIA secret prisons were, can mean the difference between winning the war and enabling our enemies to hit us again as they did on 9-11.

I'm crying too hard. Thank you for posting this.

Exactly me too. As a former security control official in the service during a time of war, I can not believe these disloyal pukes who put the lives of our troops at risk. This Attorney General better be making a case on her and that of Sandy Burgler.

[ONEBYEONE]

Juan's statement and that old lady (blonde) on the weekend show of Neal Cavuto's just outraged me. She basically said that she trusted Iran more than President Bush. What a dunce. I hope people watching avoid doing business with her and her company. Let her sell her homes and real estate in Iran.

[no dems]

Put her in a prison cell with a 200 lb. diesel dyke and let the good times roll mama.

[Piquaboy]

Someone should tell our politicians this.

Jail Time is right. I was talking to an Army Officer last night and that's the first thing he said~Jail Time.

One can't get away with this...she must be jailed otherwise others will with ease leak classified info. If Mary gets much of nothing then it's a green light for others.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Pure arrogance on her part. She and Sandy Burglar are typical of the Clinton crowd who believe that the rules do not apply to them. Put her in jail and throw away the key.

[crashthe24]

Since there is no proof of the secret prisons, is there any chance that this was bogus info given Mary McCarthy because they knew she was a traitor rat? And how about someone winning a Pulitzer for a fictitious news story?

I would consider it the highest honor to be selected to serve my country as a volunteer on Mary McCarthy's firing squad.

[Taliesan]

The 60's era Marxists continue their long march through the institutions. The logical outcome is civil war. When the State department and the CIA can actively oppose the sitting President without fear, then the republic itself is in danger.

[kabar]

Babin fails to mention that McCarthy is a political partisan who (herself and her husband) gave over $10K to the Dems in 2004. The big question is, "Has the politization of the CIA affected their intelligence collection and analysis?"

[surrey]

What I don't understand is why she was not arrested. I have to think that they have had the goods on her for awhile. Why let her just walk? Firing is not enough. I hope there's a good reason for their reluctance to get tough with McCarthy.

Sadly this stuff is going to continue. It has been in place for a long time. One tests the water, as they get away with more leaks over the years, the collective what some used to refere to as the 5^th column, get bolder.
Their now at the point where they feel they really can pull off just about anything they want to and never face criminal negligence. They being of course both those in government agencies as well as the L/MSM.
At least GWB has taken some steps to put a few people in place and give them a mission to start cleaning up these nests. How effective it will turn out. Who knows.

[doorgunner69]

I would still be peeking through bars at Leavenworth if I would have told what I knew when holding a Top Secret clearance.

Yep, having held a clearance of several levels with the alphabet after them, we know too well the penalties promised for compromise. You WILL go to jail. It is amazing how the MSM is glossing over this. Why don't they get a security officer from any large defense contractor on to tell just what the govenment promises will happen to someone divulging classified information????

[jazusamo]

I would consider it the highest honor to be selected to serve my country as a volunteer on Mary McCarthy's firing squad.

And so would I. The people coming forward to try to justify her actions are just as bad, IMO.

BTW, thanks to your help, I'm starting to learn some of this puter language stuff. I don't understand it but I can remember some of the things to put in.

The media believes in a higher loyalty to the socialist revolution. Nothing is treasonous if it advances socialism or the Democratic party, or hurts the Republican party, the so-called Christian right, or George W. Bush.

If McCarthy is prosecuted and found guilty of treason, as she should be, she'll be pardoned by the next 'Rat President.

If The New York Times had been around in 1780, they would have made a hero of Benedict Arnold.

[tennmountainman]

10-1 Odds that Bush's Justice department will give her the same treatment as Burglar... nothing but a slap on the wrist.
After all she did lose her job.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Treason.
One of the liberal pundits this week end angrily described the issue as the Bush administration snuffing the media's God given right to publish the nation's top secrets .

[PogySailor]

Sadly, I expect the only place she'll be going anytime soon is the lefty talk show and speaking circuit. The MSM is already making the case that she was right to divulge TS/SCI information.
