Re: "Irrelevant or Fitz would have charged...."
President Bush's comments had NOTHING to do with legally actionable information. Rather he referred to his personal feelings (and mine...) with regard to the heinous act of putting our nation's intelligence operatives lives (and the lives of their contacts, and all the work that has been done in the name of America) at risk:
"I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors." George Herbert Walker Bush, CIA dedication ceremony, April 26, 1999.
'Irrelevant' is a conclusion, one that in this mostly-free world you are certainly free to make for yourself, but it ignores the immorality of the situation.
Your business though, as I've said, just don't expect me to share your ability to turn a blind-eye to the harming of American interests, or the immorality of doing so.... |
