For example Scooter Libby sends Chaney an email about a conversation he had with a reporter about a CIA agent. If Libby knows the email is public record, the email will reflect how he wants his email to be perceived by the public. If Libby writes a note on a napkin to Chaney, and Chaney throws the note in the trash, and someone finds the note and makes it public. I would put more value on the note than the email. I understand that both could be staged.

I told you what I found intriguing. Honest government suggests that the players have an opportunity for private thought. If I support an action by a ratio of 51 to 49 percent in my mind compared to a person who supports an issue 99 to 1, and we both vote the same way, I focus on the vote and have less interest in the minutia surrounding the vote.
