a brief return to politics

The call by Republican congressmen for an investigation into who leaked information about our government's secret prisons is a good thing — anything that shines light on the issue is. But I have to admit that I was a little dismayed to see such an apparently cagey political response coming from the right after Harry Reid's secret session masterstroke. All of a sudden each party appeared to have their own leak investigation to make hay over, effectively neutralizing lingering Plame-Affair fallout.
But now I see this. And it pleases my petty partisan self immensely.

Let him fess up and resign no matter who he or she is. Let's all at least be consistent about these things.
well, I would argue that there are important differences between leaking information in a whistleblowing capacity and leaking information for purposes of spite. But of course you're right, if the law was broken, the leaker needs to be punished or pardoned accordingly.
