Well then, I'm going to have to call bullshit on your calling bullshit.
Clinton didn't get "nailed," unless you call making a half-ass apology "getting nailed." Nixon resigned. Libby resigned. Clinton refused to resign, choosing instead to remain a national embarrassment until the final seconds, pardoning his buddies and trying to steal the limelight from the incoming administration.

And on your second point having 2 governments that know about her identity is a lot different than the whole world (assuming the washington times report is true). And furthermore that is beyond the point. It is completly wrong for the administration to attempt to destroy a persons livelyhood because that person told the TRUTH to the american people.

If you do any research, you will find that other governments enter the name of any discovered agent into their databases, to determine who interacted with them. This was done with Plame ten years ago, so the whole world DID know. And where in the heck do you get your "attempt to destroy a persons livelyhood" (sic)? The whole question came up because some people (it's still being decided as to whom) were trying to figure out how Wilson was selected to investigate the Niger-uranium question. Wilson's "livelyhood" wasn't based on merit, but on nepotism.

It is so morally unethical that it sickens me. Of course maybe ethics just arent important?

If you want to interpret it that way, fine. Selective ethics don't sway me("Yeah, he lied under oath, but lying wasn't important when MY president did it, but when a staffer for Bush does it, Bush should resign.")
You're not the only one who's sickened by politics.
