Where are all the liberals who are outraged by Robert Novak mentioning Valerie Plame's name, as once again the NY Times leaks top secret information in disregard of U.S. national security interests?
Michelle Malkin has a great roundup of reaction to this exposé of yet another attempt by the Bush Administration to protect Americans from terrorist attacks in flagrant disregard for the sensibilities of the ACLU and like-minded Democrats.
