If this had occurred to the Democratic party during Clinton's presidency,
Faux News, other conservative media organizations and "think
tanks" and Republican politicians would be screaming to high heaven,
again.  This time?  Not a peep.

Excerpt:
"Just the other day, the Washington Times -- a daily compendium of
right-wing propaganda subsidized by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, also known as
the Messiah -- published a drooling front-page story comparing the current
"Chinese espionage scandal" with the capture and trial of the
Rosenberg Soviet spy ring in the 1950s.

Bursting their bubble may be dirty work, but somebody has to do it, because
playing with this fire could leave the right-wingers scorched worse than
their liberal enemies. Not only did the alleged theft of nuclear secrets by
China occur on their watch, during the Reagan and Bush administrations, but
there is a likelihood that the security breaches at Los Alamos and the
other national laboratories were made worse by one of the right's favorite
public policies: privatization. "
