Screed, rant, and randomness
What's good for the goose?
So today the Justice Department announces that it has begun an investigation into who leaked the fact that the U.S. National Security Agency is conducting surveillance in the U.S. without warrants. President Bush has all but said that revealing the existence of the program assisted (potential) terrorists. Clearly, quick, decisive measures are in order. Yet two years on, we still don't know for sure who leaked the identity of a US CIA agent, potentially compromising other agents and sources around the world.
Is this because the CIA agent who was exposed was linked to criticism of the administration? It seems like it. "National security leaks" are unforgiveable if they support Bush critics, but if the source is a loyal political ally/satrap, well, that's forgivable.
I say, sir, double standard! This is unacceptable. (In character, but unacceptable.)

it's pretty disgusting stuff really!
ironcially like (most flavors of) christianity - you have to believe in christ in order to go to heaven.
