McCarthy's Motives

James Taranto reports on where confessed CIA leaker Mary McCarthy loyalties may lie:

Mary McCarthy turns out to be a politically active Democrat. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it may be probative in establishing her motive for revealing national-security secrets. She also served as a special assistant to the president during the Clinton administration. The New York Times reported Saturday that she contributed $2,000 to the 2004 presidential campaign of John Kerry*. Blogger Tom Maguire notes that she also donated $5,000 to the Ohio Democratic Party, and that a male landscaper who shares her address and her last name--we're guessing they also share a connubial bed, but the FEC doesn't keep tabs on that--also gave $2,000 to Kerry, plus $500 to Maryland's Sen. Barbara Mikulski, a Democrat.

Are liberals in their zeal to get Bush a security risk? Yes!!!
