Mr. Kerry Is Put in His Place
The blogoshere has been ripe with discussion about Mary McCarthy who was fired the other day from the CIA for leaking classified information. It seems like a pretty clear issue: privy to classified information, bound by law not to disclose classified information, and having taken an oath upon acceptance of the job not to disclose classified information, Ms. McCarthy disclosed classified information. No one is disputing the facts.
Interestingly, however, is that there is still a flap about this. McCarthy is a Democrat and has financially supported liberal candidates. That is fine and her right to do so. But that appears to be the only reason that Democrats are claiming her firing is disingenuous. If the facts above are stipulated, how can one think she should still have a job?
Guest blogger bullwinkle over at Say Anything summed up this issue clearly:
I have just one question for Mr. Kerry and the rest of the left. If Mary McCarthy had access to John Kerry’s military service records including his discharge and released them to the public would that be OK, as long as they were his real records? After all, she’d just be telling the truth and in this case not jeopardizing national security…
Touché!
