The Plame Game, Redux

Many people have noted--particularly with respect to Cindy Sheehan's loss of absolute moral authority--that many on the left seem to have acquired a disinterest in the prosecution of "Bush's wars."  Now comes information that defense lawyers may have been showing Gitmo detainees photographs of CIA operatives in an effort to make the latter have to testify at the trials of the detainees.

As Drew M. points out, this is a far cry from the patriotic fervor that surrounded "the outing of Valerie Plame."  Treason?  Crickets.

Meanwhile, in the wake of Tom Ridge's "bombshell announcement," William Jacobson is doing the work that journalists won't, and reassembing the information on threat assessment at the time of the 2004 elections.  Donald Douglas does due diligence.

And Ethel Fenig has the 411 on Leon Panetta's imaginary assassination squads.
