Significant national security leaks have emanated from the White House, just in the past year, and now, The Democrat Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee (http://thehill.com/blogs/defcon-hill/policy-and-strategy/239661-sen-feinstein-says-someone-at-white-house-is-behind-leaks) wants the President to provide answers.

Why isn't the media and the Left as exercised about this as they were about Valerie Plame?

wants the President to provide answers.

Do you read what you link? From the article you linked:

Feinstein said she was certain that President Obama had not disclosed any of the classified intelligence, but believed others in the administration were responsible.

“I don’t believe for a moment that he goes out and talks about it,” she said of the president.

You're right, only a partisan hack would accuse the White House of leaking national security secrets and NOT demand answers.

Again, where is the hyperbolic tenor of the media and Democrats now that we have actual people's lives endangered by a leak from the administration?

Your point? The media printed Valerie Plame's name and had no problem hyperventilating over the issue.

I just assumed the accusation would constitute a demand for answers. I stand corrected, Feinstein is, after all, a Democrat.

My point is that the media covered these leaks too.

I'm sorry they didn't cover them to your satisfaction...

Tell me, do you think the White House owes the public answers on how such leaks are occurring?

Do you think the media should prod the administration into acting faster than appointing investigators that are sure to not report back before the election?

I do.

Sure. That's why they assigned two prosecutors to investigate them, and hopefully once they find out, the public at large will be informed.

What you want is irrelevant.

I do.You didn't think this when Bush was president.

You are a partisan hack.

Are they covering them to your satisfaction?

Are the leaks that occurred, within the past year, more or less serious than the outing of Valerie Plame?

You're pretty defensive for Feinstein and the administration. Do you believe it's an unfair demand that the administration provide answers? Did you feel that way about the Bush administration? Why or why not?

Do you believe the media is treating these (as in multiple security leaks) any differently than the outing of Valerie Plame?

I wasn't up in arms about Valerie Plame or Scooter Libby cases, and I'm not up in arms about these leaks either. I understand both parties "leak" what they want for political purposes all the time.

Well, as long as you're satisfied with a biased media, what's to talk about? Carry on, then.

There's media for everybody, Yoni, even for partisan hacks like you.

I personally subscribe more towards articles like the one WH linked. I like Greenwald, and he's spot on about the hypocrisy of both parties when it comes to this stuff.

Going after Libby was hypocritical when these same people are not going after the endless leaks we see now.

How can any of you defend hypocrisy?

Yep...

The games liberals play with their choreographed victims. Make the public cry for someone. It's a typical liberal tactic. Always playing the victim card. It was never about right and wrong, it was about playing a trump card.

Shakil Afridi will spend over 30 years in a Pakistani prison because his assistance in trying to locate Osama bin Laden was leaked by our current administration.

Liberals can do the same things that the neo-cons did but it's okay because they're liberals. It's only bad when neo-cons. Leaking information, nation building, policing the world, supporting the Patriot Act and The NDAA, supporting Gitmo and wiretaps were bad when the neo-cons were in charge. The other half is now in charge so those things are are okay.


But seriously, I just laugh at Obama supporters and so-called liberals. They're such delusional ignorant hypocrites.
