OK, I won't overuse the term smoking gun, but when I heard Senator McCain's leak theory, I knew something was up. "The only conceivable" reason that McCain knows the "motive for such damaging and compromising leaks" is that it is something he could conceive of doing. The Issa cover-up committee is along the same track. Worse than Watergate, less than WMD***.
September 11th occurred because the Bush administration had contempt for the Clinton administration and refused to carry on in the case against terrorism. Fast and Furious is still under investigation, but it seems that the political case is of the opposite extreme. The Obama administration not changing more from the previous administration.
I have a feeling that the Issa Committee investigation is actually an attempt to interfere with the Obama administration* of justice and foreign policy. Or retribution for Watergate, Iran Contra and Plame combined, or Republican power** as usual.

(I was reticent to use 9/11, especially with the smoking[!] gun lede-in. While Representative Mica is really stretching things, two things are certain. September 11th or even a dead ATF agent are nothing to smirk about, and Representative Issa hides his smirk with a snear.)

[A caller to the Ed Schultz show noted a similar theme. Republicans are more about obstruction politics than finding the facts. They must have something to hide. Obama's success and their incompetence. But then there followed**2 on Thom Hartmann the PE/FDR/BS [!]]

[A friend asked my opinion on the wikileaks deal. Well more specifically the personalities involved. Bottomline, I don't feel that military personel should take it on themselve to leak top secret information without considering the consequences, nor should they have been distributed without the same considerations. Unfortunately there may not be enough law on the books to prosecute the latter although there certainly is for the former. Who do we have to blame for the laws on the books? Congress. Who do we have for not enough laws on the books? Republicans. Well, it is not the quantity but the quality. But the answer is the same. Talk is cheap, but actions*2 cost.]
