THE DEMS LEAK AND LEAK AND LEAK, AND YET NEVER GET INDICTED; HECK: THERE'S NEVER EVEN A FRONTPAGE HEADLINE!
BETSY'S PAGE has a GREAT post on Dem/Left leakers. RTWT! And of course their cohorts in CRIME are the PROFESSIONAL leakers at CIA and FBI and Department of State who think THEY should be running US policy and not the elected leaders of our nation.
For more on this angle (hat tip THE AMERICAN THINKER) click HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE. And HERE and HERE.
Here's an EXCERPT from one of those links - a column by James Hoagland of the Washington Post:
I think there's never any HOOPLA or HULLABALOO or HEADLINE about Dem/Left leaks because the MSM LIKES those leaks - and those leakers!
UPDATE: John Hinderaker of POWERLINE has a report on this at THE DAILY STANDARD. EXCERPT:

Here's an EXCERPT from one of those links - a column by James Hoagland of the Washington Post:
It is not surprising that your White House distrusts and/or despises the media, the CIA, the State Department's career officers, the United Nations and a host of other institutions that you could not control, but that you could not accept that you could not control. Like most paranoia, yours is not totally unfounded: People in those institutions were out to defy and/or get you.This column - by a long-time DC-hand, a centrist, a moderate - makes it CLEAR that many MANY "inside the Beltway folks" KNOW that there are RENEGADE elements in the CIA and FBI and at State who use leaks (and other nefarious methods) to try to HIJACK the elected adminstration and pursue THEIR OWN POLICIES! IT IS HORRIBLE BUT TRUE!
But you and yours helped them accomplish the mission.
One lesson available in this story is that amateurs are no match for the CIA in disinformation campaigns. The spies are far better at operating in the shadows than you politicians will ever be. They have a license to dissemble.
The hidden management of [a] the criminal justice process and [of, (b)] the news media practiced by spooks in Wilson-Rove-Libbygate is nothing short of brilliant.
So you were right to fear the agency. Where else do you think the one-page crime report that triggered the investigation and then the pressure-building leaks disclosing its existence came from?
Fear probably caused you to keep the Clinton-appointed leadership in place at the CIA long after some of its top operatives mounted a rebellion against the White House, in part to shift attention from their failures to yours.
I know that George Tenet charmed you, and the rest of us. That's what spies and spymasters do, sir. You should have been taking that into account.
I think there's never any HOOPLA or HULLABALOO or HEADLINE about Dem/Left leaks because the MSM LIKES those leaks - and those leakers!

THE CIA'S WAR against the Bush administration is one of the great untold stories of the past three years. It is, perhaps, the agency's most successful covert action of recent times.RTWT. Now.
