CIA VS. THE WHITE HOUSE: McCARTHY AND THE DC REVOLVING DOOR
It's really immaterial what you (or Mary McCarthy) believed was legal or illegal.
For argument's sake, let's say you're right and Bush was acting outside the law (I don't agree). Even then, McCarthy had an established procedure she was obligated to follow, the easiest of which would have been to inform Senator Rockefeller, the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Despite your quaint arguments about "the right to know" and doing the moral thing, she took the least moral route. She didn't work thru the system; she violated her sworn oath.
She no heroine. She's a disgrace. And liberals are making a grave mistake if they think Americans will buy into the "good leak" theory. Like me, most ordinary people assume the government is doing MANY things in the war on terror that we know nothing about! They will not sympathize with an agent who took it upon herself to "declassify" classified material.
