Traitorous Negligence

Via Eschaton, I see that Dr. Rice is admitting that the Bush administration revealed the name of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, an al-Qaeda double agent, to the press.

Blitzer then revealed that he had discussed the Khan case with US National Security Adviser Condaleeza Rice on background. He reported that she had admitted that the Bush administration had in fact revealed Khan's name to the press. She said she did not know if Khan was a double agent working for the Pakistani government. (!!!)
Jesus H. Cordero. No wonder these people freaked out on John Kerry for calling the fight against terrorism "primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation". No wonder they need to go to war against nation-states all the time: the kind of spycraft you read about in any Tom Clancy page-turner is more than their feeble brains can handle.
By the way, in case you've lost your scorecard, the guy running this show is the first-born son of a former director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
And why the hell am I turning into Paul Krugman?!
