Physician, heal thyself

So Senator Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Nutopia, wants to create a Truth Commission to investigate the Bush Administration.

How about a Truth Commission to investigate the multiple leaks Leahy made to The Washington Post and others as the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee during the Reagan years? This guy never met a secret he didn't want to betray in the name of political expediency and may well have cost the life of at least one covert agent because of his sneaky political ways. But you can be sure "Leahy the Leaker" has some self-righteous explanation for his behavior.

Ah, how quickly we forget, which is exactly what Leahy and his kind count on.

Thank you for the timely reminder of what deceit and hypocrisy look like.

Tsk tsk.
There is no journalism, particularly political journalism on Capitol Hill, without leaks.
Don't bite the hand that feeds, Francis.

Also of note - I'm sure the Bush Administration can be forgiven their egregious leaks (remember Scooter Libby?). Perhaps Leahy's more concerned with their record of torture, deception and other acts of treason.
