About friggin' time one of these I Hate Bush Moles got the axe for passing out National Security Secrets.

I'm sure all you America Loving libbies that wants a Rep head for Plane will not have any problem with her being fired.”

“I think she'd have to be fired if she leaked the info.

I'd still buy her a drink though.”

“Will you answer your email, bozo?”

“Did you know they have to put a threaded cork in your ass when you die to keep the postmortem farts to a minimum?”

“LOL arc, I have not answered email in about a week to anyone. Feeling lazy.
Don't worry, our plan for World Domination and kayaking is going as planned.”

“I don't like Bush moles either, they sound kinda nasty.”

“bout time these peolpe get knocked down a notch or 2..or3..or4”

“So if you understand 'Fart' a dead man could lie?”

““So if you understand 'Fart' a dead man could lie?”

Yes. Few people actually know the tongue thought. This guy and maybe a handful of others...

”

“Pronouncing'HU'?”

“Public records show that Ms. McCarthy contributed $2,000 in 2004 to the presidential campaign of John Kerry, the Democratic nominee.

Sandy Berger appointed her (under Clinton).



Figures......
Yet another traitorous Democrat.”

“Maybe she donated to Kerry because she knew what Bush was up to.”

“You intersected his trail.”

“Should someone be fired for leaking this story?

And isntead of a "I hate Bush Mole" maybe she did it out of, dare I say, moral obligation?

Can I say that without getting into the "Legal whistleblowing channel" circular debate?”

“All CIA employees are required to sign a secrecy agreement upon being hired stating they are prohibited from discussing classified information with anyone not cleared to receive the material


Question: Can a CIA officer "whistleblow"? Can they do it and keep their job?”

“dammit.”

“I think there is an obligation if you think something is morally wrong to shed some light on it. If it involves violating a contract you signed when you took the job - or otherwise violating conditions of employment, you should pay the price.

If it involves revealing something the US is doing that is radically unconstitutional - then perhaps it should be covered by a whistleblower law. I haven't seen the evidence that a whistleblower law should apply - until then, I have to think the firing was legit. She should pay the price for her act of conscience.”

“If the leak embarrasses the administration, it's a crime.


If the leak makes the administration look better, it's called "declassifying information for the public good".

The Democrats and Republicans have been playing the same game for years.”

“And about 90% of what they do is unconstitutional.”

“I agree with pedxing she had a moral obligation to come forward with the information if the activity was unconstitutional. By leaking the information she knew her job was at risk. Lots of people have paid a price for doing the right thing. In her business a conscience is not your friend.”

“There go the facsists, berating women again.”

“If this turns out to be true, does anyone think she will be fired? Bush will simply say he declassified the info.

"Lawyer: Rice Allegedly Leaked Defense Info"

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice leaked national defense information to a pro-Israel lobbyist in the same manner that landed a lower-level Pentagon official a 12-year prison sentence, the lobbyist's lawyer said Friday.

Rest of story”

“The key diff is the Condi thing is a made up spin to draw attention away from this, LOL.
Watch how this settles out.”

“Mary McCarthy and "Plastic Morality"
The Morning Paper-Special Edition | 04/23/06


Mary McCarthy and Plastic Morality


By now , everyone has heard the story : Mary McCarthy , a long-term veteran at the CIA , has been fired for “leaking” highly classified material to Dana Priestly, a star reporter for the Washington Post.


Ms McCarthy is not only unemployed ; she is in criminal jeopardy as well – and it is by no means a given that Dana Priestly and her employers are “off the hook” for prosecution under the espionage statutes.


At the moment, a Republican administration is in power , and many loyal Democrats are proclaiming (rather vigorously) McCarthy should be honored as a “whistleblower”, because some of the material she is said to have leaked made life more difficult for the Administration.

Some of her supporters suggest she had a “moral duty” to violate the stringent terms of her employment –and the espionage laws : a duty that transcends mere statutes and regulations. Some have even suggested that anyone who believes otherwise is on the road to becoming “ a good little Nazi”.


I have a suspicion many of those who presently extol the lady’s virtues might be cursing her - if Democrats occupied the White House ; but I could be wrong.


It’s hard to predict reactions in an age of “plastic morality”.


In many parts of our country , people who feel a high sense of moral obligation towards animals have bombed facilities that conduct animal research , vandalized the cars and homes of research employees,and conducted acts of criminal harassment.


On both coasts, other people who feel halting development is a highly moral act, have burned down SUV dealerships, spiked trees in an effort to injure lumberjacks, burned down homes under construction, and have even fire-bombed a spring water bottling plant.


In the year 2001, a microbiologist (and friends) exercised their highly developed “morality” by sending Anthrax through the mail to “punish” America for its sins. (They had the good sense to suggest al-Qaeda might have done it – and loyal supporters willing to lay false trails for the FBI to follow ; but a day of reckoning will come…)


Politicians from all major parties have reached out eagerly to accept unclean contributions – forwarded by those who want to promote questionable commercial enterprises ,and welcomed the lobbyists who broker these deals with open arms. They justify betrayal of the public trust by claiming a high moral duty to secure and remain in elective office.


I could go on – and on – until my fingers are too weary to type,and your eyes are too weary to continue reading ; yet , after all was said and done, any one of us might nod approvingly – then go out to do something unspeakable – in the name of a “higher moral purpose”.


Such is the nature of Plastic Morality.



------------------------------

A lot of good points here.”

“Dana Priest instead of Dana Priestly above.”

“Looks like you posted a bit-o-spin yourself, SS.”

“The Rice crap was put out by a couple of lawyers.
Now we all know lawyers never lie or spin.
LOL”

“I would LOVE for the libbies to make this a campaign issue.”

““The Rice crap was put out by a couple of lawyers.
Now we all know lawyers never lie or spin".

Boy, ain't that the truth. I cant believe those simple minded fools that believe the crap put out by those lawyers for Delay and Scooter.

It's good to know you aren't so easily fooled SS.”

I believe this case remains unsolved?

I could go on and on but to suggest this is an "age of plastic morality" b/c some moron can site the bent morality of fringe groups is just assinine. As if this crap hasn't always been with us.

btw - got a link?”

“Got to go back, I forgot the seat again.”
