I am shocked--shocked!--that you would arrest our spies!

Vladimir Putin, the former Russian spymaster and now prime-minister-no-doubt-for-life, is terribly upset that the FBI arrested a bunch of his deep cover spies, including the slinky Anna Chapman, who posted this photo among others on Facebook. What has espionage come to? Was she hoping to "friend" David Petraeus?

Mr. Putin's outrage (at least partly feigned, I suspect) is of a piece with the recent condemnation of Arizona for passing a law making it illegal for anyone to be in the United States illegally. It is no longer sufficient to scoff at laws we don't like. Now it follows that we must condemn those who would enforce the law, whether it be the FBI or the Arizona highway department.
