The whole thing upsets me on many different levels.
1. He's been working for the government for 30 years, the guy should effing know better, and I'm appalled at the allegations.
2. The archivists should not have let him run all over them a second time after they already suspected him of taking documents - this is very simple: if you are in charge of TS/codeword info, it is YOUR ass if someone gets out with it.
3. He damn well should have informed John Kerry, who he's been working for, that he was under FBI investigation (also, it would have been nice if White House officials, who have known about it for months, had let Kerry, as a courtesy, know about it).
4. Two days after it is leaked, a congressional investigation is underway - but *still* no congressional investigation into Valerie Plame's identity leak?
5. This investigation has been ongoing since spring. It's leaked NOW, two days before the release of the 9/11 report, and a week before the Democratic Convention? PLEASE.... The timing of it is pathetic partisan politics at its absolute worst, and the Republicans who leaked it should be ashamed of themselves.
