I look forward to the day that this moron leaves public office. But just for laughs here is Mr. Leaky Pants talking about uncovering “secrets of the Bush administration”

“THE OBAMA administration’s decision to release more Bush-era memoranda, which sought to rationalize torture, shows that President Obama is following through on his promise to ban torture and to provide transparency to our government. The Bush-Cheney administration not only broke the law, it shattered the public trust and undermined America’s reputation around the world.”

Of course no law was broken, it’s another lie the democrats have been saying, but the fact is to break a law there must be a law to break. In the time period in question 2002-2004, there was no such law against the interrogation techniques employed, thus they were lawful.

Again, Leahy was fully briefed on these interrogation techniques – as were other key democrats – back in 2002, and again in 2003. They voiced NO objection at the time, and only did so when they successfully crafted their message through coordination to paint the Bush approach to the GWOT as a failure. Funny how failure leads to no attacks on US soil in 8 years, a feat accomplished by no other recent administration.

As we know Patrick Leahy has released classified information before for political expediency, and it’s the only reason he wants to unveil our national security secrets now. A few years ago Newsmax covered Leahy’s treason in the 80s.

“

*”Leaky Leahy,” allegedly threatened to sabotage classified strategies he didn’t like.

* Leahy ‘inadvertently’ disclosed a top-secret communications intercept during a 1985 television interview.

* “The intercept … made possible the capture of the Arab terrorists who had hijacked the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered American citizens. …”

* “The reports cost the life of at least one Egyptian operative involved in the operation.”

* In July 1987, it was reported that Leahy leaked secret information about a 1986 covert operation planned by the Reagan administration to topple Libya’s Moammar Gaddhafi.

* U.S. intelligence officials said Leahy, along with the Republican panel chairman, sent a written threat to expose the operation directly to then-CIA Director William Casey.

* Weeks later, news of the secret plan turned up in the Washington Post, causing it to be aborted.

* A year later, as the Senate was preparing to hold hearings on the Iran-Contra scandal, Leahy had to resign his Intelligence Committee post after he was caught leaking secret information to a reporter.

He should have been indicted, tried and sentenced.”
