Selective Security Outrage
By Rob on Politics Wizbang

A review of the liberal blogs today, compliments of PW’s new “roundup” sidebars on the right, shows that the leftist natives are positively frothing at the mouth over Karl Rove, demanding that the President fire him immediately for revealing classified information.
If only they were half so incensed at UBL and the Islamic terrorists who kill innocent civilians with bombs. After all, that's a national security issue too, isn't it? Still, the idea that those on the left may not be genetically incapable of addressing questions of national security is a good thing. Those of us on/in the Right, have always maintained that national security is the very first responsibility of the federal government… especially when there are people out there who are sworn to kill us all, merely because we are “infidels.” So it should come as no surprise to our liberal brethren that we take matters of national security very seriously indeed.
So much so, that we were highly incensed when Senate Democratic leader Harry “Sunstroke” Reid was making public accusations against Judge Henry Saad, an appeals court nominee, based on classified FBI information to which Reid had no legal, authorized access.
So much so, also, that some of us are pretty incensed at the idea of a supposedly undercover CIA operative sending her own husband to Niger to dredge up fake facts in an attempt to smear a sitting President.
