Wow, Rep. Peter Hoekstra just loves making stuff up to score political points:
Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Hoekstra also suggested some unauthorized leaks could have been deliberate attempts to help al Qaeda.
“More frequently than what we would like, we find out that the intelligence community has been penetrated, not necessarily by al Qaeda, but by other nations or organizations,” he said.
“I don’t have any evidence. But from my perspective, when you have information that is leaked that is clearly helpful to our enemy, you cannot discount that possibility,” he added.
Uh, yeah.
When it becomes acceptable for a sitting Congressman to call intelligence analysts traitors without any evidence, we’ve lost something to the terrorists. It’s even worse when the officials leak no actual intelligence but only evidence of possible Constitutional violations by the White House.
