Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday he worries that the leaks won’t stop “until we see someone in an orange jump suit.”
Orange jump suit? This guy should be labeled an enemy combatant and we should be doing everything we can to get him extradited to America and prosecuted as soon as possible. American forces should be instructed to capture or kill him on sight. There’s no room for putting American soldiers on the battle field at risk. Ever.
That’s not a very Classic Liberal response.
I’m not very “Classic Liberal” when it comes to defense. As John Adams remarked of the executive branch, two of its most essential properties are “secrecy and despatch.” There is necessity for both in government - even a liberal one. Foreign agents who would violate that secrecy at the risk of American lives and freedoms are enemies and they should be treated as such, whatever warm platitudes they claim to operate under.
