Sorry.  Couldn't help myself. 

I just read that libbers and fibbers are hyping the surveillance leak (aka, the New York Times promotion for a book to be released this month) as whistleblowers -- and not criminal acts or treason.

Uh huh.

When I think of hyping a breach of security as a noble act of whistleblowing, the image I have is of Howard Dean pursing his lips and pretending to blow out a Plame --- I mean, flame-thrower.
