I guess I have to ask why this is any different that the Valerie Plame matter?

The folks on the democratic side of the political fence sure made a stink over that, even though she was already known in the DC party circuit as a CIA employee (as if being the wife of an Ambassador wouldn't have already ruined her "cover").

But they seem to be pretty mum about investigating this breach.

And I can only imagine the furor that would have arisen had intelligence operations like this been discussed during WWII.

And there's a bit of a difference between revealing a classified after-action report and information about an ongoing operation.

I don't know.. I personally don't see a difference between the Plame affair and this case.

If anything, a warning needs to be sent to the media that such information puts our troops, as well as all the American people at risk by denying our ability to observe terrorist financial transactions.
