In this response you make a false accusation. That being that by taking his comments out of context I was changing the meaning of the comments.

You have not shown this to be true.

It is, in fact false.

My assertion is true. That he says we should withhold judgement, and then goes ahead and ignores his own advice by asserting "Have you heard that the CIA is actually the source responsible for exposing Plame's covert status?"

He is in fact passing judgement.

The he ignores his own advice again when he comments: "Had you heard not only that no crime was committed in the communication of information between Bush administration officials and Novak, but that no crime could have been committed because the governing law gives a person a complete defense if an agent's status has already been compromised by the government?"

Well it looks like we don't even need a justice system after all. We have this author that is pronouncing truth as if from on high, while at the same time saying that we should "withhold judgement". Instead of having a justice system we should just ask this author to pass judgement, which he seems very inclined to do.

You have not shown in any way that the meaning of his comments were distorted by my supposed "taking them out of context". Their meaning seems pretty self-evident to me.

While making his bigger point he steps right into a big hypocritical contradiction himself. You choose to ignore that fact. I don't.
