The Ugly Backstory

It seems that Larry Hanauer, a Jane Harman staffer, is the name of the person suspended for allegedly having leaked a classified NIE to The New York Times. Harman is outraged, not at her staffer's behavement, but at the penalty for it -- perfectly analogous to someone who isn't sorry that a thief stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he's going to jail.

Over at The American Thinker, Clarice Feldman offers an interesting account of the whole, ugly backstory behind Jane Harman's shift to the left and other assorted Democratic shenanigans.

The moral? That as the Democratic Party shifts to the radical left, it becomes ever less trustworthy when it comes to protecting national security.
