#1 Another first for The One:

The Obama administration has been much more aggressive than its predecessors in pursuing and punishing leakers. The latest case, the arrest last month of John Kiriakou, a former C.I.A. terrorist-hunter accused of telling journalists the names of colleagues who participated in the waterboarding of Qaeda suspects, is symptomatic of the crackdown. It is this administration’s sixth criminal case against an official for confiding to the media, more than all previous presidents combined.

From the New York Times, no less.

This Kerry aide gave out the real name of the guy who waterboarded Abu Zubaydah in Thailand. It should be interesting to see whether this vainglorious tool gets a less severe sentence than Scooter Libby.
