<<From a distance, it smells as if the national-security hoop-de-do about the Valerie Plame leak is exaggerated.>> That's it. That's a perfect example of the difference I was talking about. You think that Kinsley's article was about the above. Whether or not it will hurt Bush. I think it's about how our system works, or doesn't, as the case may be. We read the same thing. You look at it from a partisan perspective and I look at it from a systems perspective. <<So put it all together and you get: (1) the anonymity of Novak's sources must be protected at all costs for the sake of the First Amendment, and (2) The White House leakers must be exposed and punished at all costs for the sake of national security. Unfortunately for the striking of heroic poses, these two groups are the same people. Either we think they should be named, or we think they should not be named. Which is it? >>
