Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[seabass]

gotta tell you eddie........I ask myself how long before it gets embarrassing for those who have spent the past 6 years making excuses for the most amazing collection of idiots behaving badly the country ever saw in high office. At this point one has to assume there is no pain threshold. Anyway..........as for the CIA leak I'd be interested to hear your opinion on this: All the leak suspects......Libby, Rove and Armitage have testified to the fact that they didn't know what Plame's CIA status was. In other words...........they had to assume that she could be covert and that throwing her name around may not serve the country's best interests, especially at a time of war. But they didn't care........for reasons many don't understand.

Point is........even if criminal behavior can never be established, what does it say for the character of Rove, Libby and Armitage to gossip about what they surely understood was a possible covert CIA agent and what does it say for the character of the whole Bush community who think absolutely nothing of it if they don't go all out and defend it?
