For me one of the worst things about the story was tarnishing the reputations of these men and women who were, actually, doing a good job. It's one thing to fire people politically- all administrations do that. It's another thing to fire people to protect yourself or your party from prosecution - but even that I can understand- all people and organizations react defensively to such situations. But what really bothers me is that these apparently decent hard working people were improperly fired, and then when it came to light their reputations were tarnished as an attempted part of the cover up of the original action that may or may not have been legally wrong, but telling the nation these men and women were not doing a good job, when they clearly were, is horrible. IMO, of course. That's the part that really bothers me.
