On April 30, ABC News did a piece on the CIA "torture" controversy titled "Waterboarding, Interrogations: The CIA's $1,000 a Day Specialists in which the network outed two CIA contractors allegedly involved in the interrogation techniques the CIA deployed against murderous, depraved terrorists pledged to kill as many Americans as they possibly can. 

Apparently it's perfectly ok for the media to out CIA operatives.  But, it's very not ok for anyone else.

Two Words:  (1)Valerie (2)Plame.

For those of you with short memories, the media went berserk when CIA employee Valerie Plame was outed after her husband wrote an article critical of the Bush Administration's claim of Saddam Hussein trying to obtain uranium from Africa.  Editorials issued forth expressing outrage over Administration retaliation - calls for investigations and so forth.  The press, and the Democrats, sensed blood in the water, and they were circling, searching, searching, searching for the smoking gun that would connect Bush or Cheney with the illegal act of blowing an operatives cover.   

The readers digest version:  Investigators went on a witch-hunt extraordinaire, even though it turned out that Plames' cover had been blown years before by a KBG mole.  In the end, try as they may, all they could do was wreck the career of Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff Scooter Libby, by winning dubious convictions for obstruction of justice and perjury, convictions we are still skeptical of to this day.  Meantime, then State Department Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage admitted he was the one who accidentally acknowledged Valerie Plame was a CIA employee to a reporter during a casual phone conversation, touching off the press firestorm.

In the case of the Plame 'outing', she was a desk jockey at the CIA who could no longer perform covert functions after being fingered by the mole.  Neither she, nor her husband, were placed in peril by the leak.

In the case of the two CIA contractors outed by ABC on April 30th, they are now identified,  their cover blown, and targets of our enemies.  There are no editorials expressing outrage.  No calls by Congress for a special prosecutor to investigate ABC.  If anything, we can expect the Obama Administration to prosecute the outed CIA contractors, not the American Broadcasting Corporation for placing these citizens in danger.

All in a days' work for the America-hating media undermining the security of the United States, and intentionally endangering the lives of people pledged to protect us. 

Under the Obama Administration, the last place you want to be is an employee of the CIA, if you're not outed by the domestic media, you are under threat of prosecution.  

And in the meantime, our enemies laugh at us (deservedly so), and plot. 

For we are, The Stupid Nation.
