It won't be my argument, it will be the argument of the CIA, who initiated this prosecution in the first place.

Yes, we should apply the same standards. Rove didn't lie under oath. Clinton did.
Are you saying that it's acceptable to lie under oath, as long as it doesn't involve national security?

No, if you read my post carefully, I am saying the situations are not comparable. It is best to not put words into another's mouth.

And they wonder why they lost the last election.

If it was a non, criminal, non-event orchestrated by Democrats then why did Ashcroft appoint a special prosecutor? Why did Miller go to jail? Why is the CIA angry about this? Why does the media feel the story has legs? And why is Bush suddenly silent and backpedaling on this issue "from I'll fire anyone involved"to "I'll fire anyone who committed a crime"?
And the "last election" line is a non-sequitir the purpose of which I can only attribute to braggadoccio. A more effective argument would remain topical.
