Kill the Messenger

"If accurate, such an egregious disclosure could have long-term and far-reaching damaging and dangerous consequences, and will imperil our efforts to protect the American people and our homeland from terrorist attacks."

This was the message released yesterday by Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee (R), the Senate majority leader, and Rep. Dennis Hastert of Illinois (R), the House speaker, in response to another Republican Senator leaking classified information to the Washington Post about secret torture prisons at undisclosed locations in eastern Europe and other nations.

Funny, they seem concerned about the leak, but NOT ABOUT THE PRISONS! Liberal Oasis agrees.
