I have an ulterior motive. Many sites discussing this link to flopping aces. link When I try to bring up the link I get a message:

It is called a 403 error. Can somebody please relay to me the substance of what he says.

levi, looks like your IP address is banned there and so is mine. LOL!! (I'm sure it's an accident, hopefully we'll be able to see what he says soon :-)

The crux of this blogstorm investigation is that McCarthy, Priest's spouse, Joe Wilson, Sandy Berger, Richard Clarke, and Anthony Zinni have longstanding professional connections. They apparently had a major effect on the 9/11 commission.

Flopping Aces appears to be misconfigured, as I can't reach it either. I seriously doubt all three of us are somehow banned.

Maybe they caught on to our robots...

So I should have more coffee, eh? We're sure about that, are we?

LMAO!

I admit nothing.

Great synopsys in the linked NRO piece...

I must say, however, that the media's sickening hypocrisy knows no bounds. They came to the defense of Joe Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame, who worked behind-the-scenes to get her husband that “fact-finding” trip to Niger. They demanded an investigation into who “leaked” Plame’s identity to Bob Novak — which ensnared their own reporters. They hoped they would critically wound the president, and they failed. Clearly Plame was not undercover and the revelation of her identity was not a crime. Lewis Libby now stands accused of lying about a crime that never occurred and the media think that’s a good thing.

Now comes Mary McCarthy, who apparently leaked real classified national-security secrets and the media largely dismiss it or defend it. They have no curiosity about McCarthy, the extent of her leaks, to whom she leaked (beyond Priest, did she leak to other reporters, members of Congress, other governments?), how she secured top security posts, and her ties to the Clinton administration. Surely there is every reason the government should pursue this investigation at least as vigorously as the Plame matter has been pursued. Dana Priest, among others, should have her day before a grand jury.

So Mary McCarthy is the name of the busted leaker?

Yes.

FYI, Wizbang and Captain's Quarters both have extensive posts on this...

The flopping aces link is up and working again...

I love Mark Levin.

She'll be called a "whistleblower" and praised as some kind of patriot...

I said the same thing this afternoon. "Whistleblower fired for leaking info about admin's secret torture chambers".

She's a hero. Just like Sandy Burglar.

florie, you gotta check out Wizbang. They're tracking the media reaction - you'd never guess... It's all Bush's fault!

Wheeeeeeee!

Those are great, Lyana. I've read Capt's Quarters before but not Wizbang.
I loved what they wrote in their first piece about O'Reilly:

Apparently Mr. Olberman hasn't realized that he's the only person more irksome than his target.

LOLOL!!
Yes, he's an obnoxious blowhard (O'Reilly) but I still often watch his program :-)

If the press didn't care about Sandy Burger stealing classified docs from the Nat'l. Archives they're hardly going to worry about the ethics of leaking this info.

I loved CNN's wording when talking about their upcoming headlines...
"The Bush Admin. investigation into the leak has netted the firing of a highly placed CIA op."
