Santorum calls intel leakers `traitors‘

Santorum, the No. 3 Senate Republican, acknowledged that he did not know whether classified programs recently brought to light by leaks, such as a National Security Agency warrantless wiretapping program, were involved in heading off the alleged terrorist plan to smuggle explosive components onto passenger jets.

"I think it is vitally important for us to understand that the compromises that have been made of American intelligence over the last few months were serious and that the traitors within the intelligence community who leaked that information, for whatever purposes, must be pursued aggressively," Santorum said.

Santorum, a close ally of President Bush , is locked in a difficult re-election battle with Democrat Bob Casey, Pennsylvania‘s state treasurer. The latest statewide independent poll showed Casey with a slight advantage.

1. Good to know he thinks that Rove/Libby/Cheney are all traitors

[radfringe]

21. my thoughts exactly

now lets ship them off to gitmo

[Drum]

2. Go Casey!

...the Santorum must be flushed.

[arcane1]

3. I call the wire-tappers "traitors"

suck on that, fetus-fetishist!!!!

[truthisfreedom]

4. judging their own.

nice to see they're doing a little self-assessment.

[Mandate My Ass]

5. See, they're "whistleblowers" not leakers

cheney, libby, rove, bush are leakers of classified info that harms our ability to track WMDs.

The corporate media just allows the neocon nutjobs to change the meaning of words without a peep. :grr:

6. Every time this guy opens his mouth ...

... he says something even STUPIDER than the last thing he said -- even though it doesn't seem possible to do so!

One of the biggest problems in the country today is the 'lack of intelligence' that exists between Santorum's two ears -- an affliction that seems to be widespread amongst GOPers.

[Sherman A1]

12. Agreed

it's amazing that he became a U.S. Senator, doesn't say much for the selection process.. he is however, somewhat entertaining.

[AtomicKitten]

7. I agree -- Karl Rove is the most insidious of traitors.

eom

[samsingh]

8. is he talking about the Plame case?

[underpants]

9. Oooh yes pRick good move take the McCarthy route

:thumbsup:

[goforit]

10. Leakers are traitors, eh? Start with Dick Cheney bozo!!!! Plamegate?

[theanarch]

11. interesting to note that while Santorum...

...doesn't know if these illegal programs had anything to do with thwarting this latest "plot" (and yes, i'm reserving my judgement on its validity), the lack of, uh, intelligence didn't stop him from strongly implying that they did. But then, demagoguing the "war on terra" is the only campaign issue the GOP's have, and that's all we're going to hear from them until election day.

15. the damage is done. people are scared once more.

[PerceptionManagement]

13. And I say Sanatarium is about to be 'unemployed' and 'indicted'

The little creep. Geez, it really sucks to be wingnut these days.

[C_U_L8R]

14. War profiteers like Sanitorium

who benefit from the false fear and terror
they create are true traitors and should be
punished accordingly for their treasonous acts.

[bluedog]

16. and I think hes a ghoul

making his kids handle a dead baby..........

[DemInDistress]

17. we'll all be calling Santorum "Former" ...come Nov. nt

[nealmhughes]

20. Don't you mean "Disgraced Former..."

eom

[ShockediSay]

18. Bush's boy > end of story.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

19. RiF calls Santorum "toast."
