Another Democrat revealed as liar and leaker

  It's not that Republicans don't lie. 
 They do. 
  But to lie in a way that endangers the lives of others is particularly despicable. It ain't just politics anymore. These are crimes.
  Yesterday we had the revelation of a Democrat consultant/operative who tried to steal the identity of the Iowa Republican Secretary of State to make it look as if he had committed a crime. 
  Today the story is of a CIA agent who endangered the life of a fellow CIA operative in an attempt to discredit the Bush administration.
  Remember all those notorious leaks to the New York Times during the Bush years? Leak after leak after leak?
  It has now been revealed that the leaks originated from former CIA official and former John Kerry staffer John Kiriakou.
  If you read the bland Washington Post article yesterday, as I did, you might wonder just how guilty Kiriakou is and how wrong he is.

In an interview with FBI officials last week, Kiriakou denied disclosing the names of covert officers and expressed dismay that defense attorneys, let alone detainees, had learned CIA officers’ names, according to the Justice Department complaint. 

The document also cites an e-mail that Kiriakou allegedly sent to the CIA interrogator after the New York Times story was published, denying that he had talked except to warn the reporter that naming the interrogator “might not be illegal” but “would certainly be immoral.”

  But Powerline has read the criminal complaint and calls Kiriakou's behavior "sickening."   
  Kiriakou is alleged to have provided to the New York Times (and the WaPo) extremely personal information about another CIA operative named Martinez who interrogated Al Qaeda members at Guantanamo. 
  This personal information enabled the NY Times reporter to stalk Martinez and his family; the information was also given to other reporters, who photographed Martinez and passed those photos on to Al Qaeda in Guantanamo. 
  Hinderaker at Powerline praises Obama's DOJ for doing the right thing in the case of these leakers but also asks why the New York Times editor and publisher are not also charged.
 Kiriakou claims he asked the Times not to reveal the name and then lied to the FBI that he himself had given the name and personal information to the Times. All three men knew and acknowledged that the release of Martinez's name would endanger himself and his family.
  This didn't stop them. 
  Theirs, apparently, was the higher moral authority, of getting the Bush administration.
