Notice that is an "if" question. I believe the only non-dodging way to answer that is with a "yes", or a "no".
Care to try? If not, why not?

Both sides, questionable ethics? YES.
You need to ask yourself why Plame, a spy directly involved with assessing WMD risks in Iraq, had her husband (An outspoken Anti-War Politician, best-selling book against the war, tight with John Kerry) sent to Africa to say the administration had nothing on WMD there. Is that really an Honest and Ethical arrangement? NO. He lied to the Senate Intelligence Committee by saying he wasn't trying to disprove the allegation that Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa (after saying over and over in his book that Bush lied about Iraq seeking uranium in Africa). Ethical? NO. Is it ethical that he is trying to push forth his own (and possibly others...TIME?) agenda, and lying about it in the process? NO.
In the trying to "get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs", as he puts it, has Wilson acted Morally and Ethically? NO.
Can anybody answer me this: Why was Judy Miller locked up, and not Matt Cooper? Cooper's father-in-law's publication - TIME Magazine - fed him to the prosecution...why?
