p> OUR ENEMIES AT LANGLEY br> Re: Jed Babbin's Jail Time : /p>

A big thumbs up to Jed Babbin's article on Mary McCarthy, traitor. Her appalling actions have given aid and comfort to our enemies, and possibly alienated some of our staunchest allies (a few weeks after the Washington Post story broke, I recall reading that Polish officials made it very clear they would think long and hard about working with us in this manner ever again).

But nearly appalling as her actions has been the liberal media's double standard. After months of tut-tutting Mr. Bush's alleged outing of Valerie Plame -- some even wondered aloud whether this compromised our national security -- the members of Big Media were strangely silent when the Washington Post committed the far more egregious act of printing Dana Priest's story.

p>Already, CBS' Bob Schieffer and NPR's Nina Totenberg are lashing out at Bush for his more-than-appropriate firing of Ms. McCarthy. Let us pray that her actions and the "reporting" of certain members of the press will be seen for what they are: treasonous acts against a nation at war. br> -- Greg Hoadley br> Boca Raton, Florida /p> p> Where are all the Mary McCarthy pictures? There is one old shot of her, which originated from CSIS. But the CSIS site has been cleansed of any mention of her. And there are two screen grabs of her from a video dated 2003. Other than those, there's nothing to be had. Why haven't we seen anything more recent, like maybe from last Friday when she was fired? Why haven't the media been hounding her every breathing moment for those embarrassing shots to plaster all over the news? br> --
