Double, double, who's got trouble
Washington DC is a place where no one has a single standard. Sometimes this can become very confusing. If you have trouble understanding which standard is being applied in some of todays more prominent situations, I suggest you check out this post from Juan Cole. It should help clear up your current confusion.
It IS all right for Bush campaign strategist Karl Rove to leak classified intelligence about the identity of Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA operative.
It is NOT all right for CIA employee Mary McCarthy to leak classified information and blow the whistle on secret torture prisons maintained by the US government in Eastern Europe. (There is disagreement on who the criminals are here, however.)
