What I find fascinating is how the leak isn't the major scandal. This leak is jeopardizing our national security. What was leaked was not news to the Senate Democrats, but it was news to al qaeda and other terrorists. For the Democrats to act shocked and the media to allow that perception to filter down to the public is criminal. The only intent, worse than the leak itself, is to undermine the war-on-terror which gives aid-and-comfort to the enemy.
I will never forget when Jay Rockefeller's memo, describing how to undermine the war effort (2003), was released. The Senate Democrats and the media were quick to run when the Democrat spin. The Democrat spin was the scandal of who leaked the memo. In that case there was no scandal, other than Jay Rockefeller strategizing how to undermine the war. In the present case the leak of how we acquire information on our enemies was leaked not for the good of the country, but the good of the Democrat party...So you see, in both cases, these leak cases had a common virtuous motive--to undermine and impugn Bush during wartime...According to the Democrats and their media friends the Democrats had the high-ground on both instances...The opposite was and is true.
