Not sure why I'm tilting at windmills here, but I'm willing to go again.
Powerclown,
Is there a difference between giving up a covert operative, and "dishonoring and discrediting his government" (while lying), to you? Yes or no?
Is it morally wrong to point out a covert operative, while technically not breaking the law? Yes or no?
For me, the answer is Yes, and Yes.
To your question, my answer is: I'm asking philosophical questions. I haven't mentioned Rove. But yes, I AM interested in everyone's agendas. As I believe I implied in a previous post:

Lest you think I'm being coy, I want to assure you: I'm not. I haven't mentioned Rove, because WHO did it doesn't matter until we know how we feel about the issue.
It's important to me to not be a hypocrit. If I feel that giving up a covert operative is a crime, then it doesn't matter who did it. That's phase 2.
But it's crystal clear, now, that you hold differnet standards. You can't/won't judge an issue without caring about who the culpret is. Nice to be a team player, i guess.
