HOLY CRAP Part 36: Rice Allegedly Leaked Defense Info

The Washington Post Reports:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice leaked national defense information to a pro-Israel lobbyist in the same manner that landed a lower-level Pentagon official a 12-year prison sentence, the lobbyist's lawyer said Friday.

Prosecutors disputed the claim.

The allegations against Rice came as a federal judge granted a defense request to issue subpoenas sought by the defense for Rice and three other government officials in the trial of Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman. The two are former lobbyists with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee who are charged with receiving and disclosing national defense information.

So it looks like Sec. of State Rice will have to testify under oath about whether or not she was handing out state secrets to lobbyists. i guess its only ok when they do it, right? isn't that how it goes?

Now think about this. today a CIA employee was fired for revealling that the US runs a series of secret prisons around the world in which they detain people outside of the rule of normal law. This begs the question: just what does a CIA employee do when he knows the agency is violating the law and the constitution? are they above the law?
