Comments on: The spy who was undone by his email http://blogs.reuters.com/jackshafer/2012/01/27/the-spy-who-was-undone-by-his-email/ Sat, 18 May 2013 21:20:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: NJ_resident http://blogs.reuters.com/jackshafer/2012/01/27/the-spy-who-was-undone-by-his-email/#comment-906 NJ_resident Wed, 07 Mar 2012 06:18:27 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/jackshafer/?p=569#comment-906 "Journalist A really went off the reservation by sharing Covert Officer A’s identity with the defense investigators in Guantánamo." All this talk by the author of "parlor games" (how effete), and yet he expresses precious little curiosity as to WHY a "journalist" would HIMSELF become an informant, personally passing along the identity of a CIA officer to a terrorist's lawyer. To prove my point, could you imagine for a moment ANY modern journalist conveying information in the OPPOSITE direction? Of course not. The reason Journolist A (sic) did this should be self-evident, but for those new to American politics, let me educate: our press corps is infested from top to bottom with America-hating LIBERALS. By dismissing the issue of the journalist's treachery by simply declaring him "off the reservation", the author of this piece, Jack Shafer, just does his part to obfuscate and distract. A pox on your profession! “Journalist A really went off the reservation by sharing Covert Officer A’s identity with the defense investigators in Guantánamo.”

It's obvious that anyone who sends such specific information to a Guantanamo defense attorney has a specific motive/agenda. How can you say that Journalist A was careless?
