Why aren't the right-wing attack dogs...
... demanding that the actual leakers be tried for treason, put to the death, or locked in a steel cage with the families of slain soldiers?
Oh, wait. Because it might turn out that some of the dearly-loved on the right are guilty of leaking. (Karl Rove, anyone?) So rather than go after those who willfully violate their sworn oaths, we'll go after the editors who dare to make public what was said. And of course we'll go after that bastion of the left, the New York Times, but cleverly downplay any mention of the Wall Street Journal (darling of the right), which ran the same stories.
Forgive me. I had forgotten for a moment that smearing and hypocrisy are the order of the day from our dear rulers, er, leaders.
