Darrell Issa, in his zeal to get an election issue for his party, becomes Julian Assange:
Issa didn't bother to redact the names of Libyan civilians and local leaders mentioned in the cables, and just as with the WikiLeaks dump of State Department cables last year, the administration says that Issa has done damage to U.S. efforts to work with those Libyans and exposed them to physical danger from the very groups that had an interest in attacking the U.S. consulate…
One of the cables released by Issa names a woman human rights activist who was leading a campaign against violence and was detained in Benghazi. She expressed fear for her safety to U.S. officials and criticized the Libyan government. "This woman is trying to raise an anti-violence campaign on her own and came to the United States for help. She isn't publicly associated with the U.S. in any other way but she's now named in this cable. It's a danger to her life," the administration official said.
Look: there was every reason for a calm Congressional investigation into how four Americans were killed in Benghazi. But this rushed, politicized attempt to use an event that should unite Americans into a wedge issue on national security is worthy of Dick Cheney.
