    James Marcinkowski is active in Detroit-area Republican politics, and has actually campaigned to unseat John Conyers. He and Rep. Conyers have had more than one "partisan dust-up" in the past, and most probably will again in the future. On this issue however, they are united. And for good reason--what is going on is reprehensible and dangerous. And it is entirely indefensible.

    The partisan leak of secret information is treason.
