Spy Sting?

O.K., this is where we stand this fine Sunday in April. Mary McCarthy, a spook who was just fired from the CIA for telling Dana Priest of the Washington Post that the nasty and devious Bush has been taking terrorists and sticking them in secret prisons in Europe somewhere. Horrors. The story was so delicious that the Pulitzer Committee gave Ms. Priest a prize the other day for telling us the dirt on the White House now occupied by an idiot.
Well, this is not fair according to the liberals like John Kerry, so they are rushing to her defense. Mary gave Kerry and other dems $7500 last year and she used to work for Clinton on spy stuff, so she obviously had a good, pure reason for telling us about the nefarious deeds of the Texas cowboy. National security should be trumped in some cases and Mary may just be a whistleblowing heroine. This line of bull can be expected to continue since the talking points are now out there for all good liberals to heed.
There is something else out there, though, that could make this all just too delightful. The Europeans have been looking far and wide for these secret prisons and can't find them or any evidence of them. These are not our friends out there looking for them. They want to humiliate us by finding them and revealing how we have just moved Abu Gharib to other places.
Wouldn't it be just peachy if this was all a big sting. The existence of the prisons was generated by the CIA and Mary fell into it by telling her buddy Dana at the Washington Post who published these fabrications and the Pulitzer folks gave a prize for the wonderful job Dana did on this project. Now Mary has lost her job and may go to prison for leaking a planted, but fictitious activity, the Pulitzer prize will be forever tainted, and other spooks may think twice about leaking.
