Bra-vo.

While attempting to use the death of American government officials in Libya to help Mitt Romney’s election bid, fellow Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz, and his House Republican colleagues on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, outed a classified CIA operation, on C-SPAN no less, endangering American national security.

Oops.

Oh but, as the saying goes, it gets better.

Chaffetz and company were using the death of the US ambassador to Libya, and others, to try to smear the President for “security lapses,” and as the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank points out in a great scoop, Chaffetz and company managed to create their own massive security lapse.

It would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous.

4. Never mind. Republicans don't care.

Remember Valerie Plame?

7. I also remember the 70+ foreign nationals who tracked radioactive materials worldwide for Plame...

...people who were probably very quickly identified as US informants as soon as Plame was outed. I've read nothing about their fate.
