At this point, I always lose the conversation.

My gov't (public servants, from bush on down--my employees really)
have no "rights", other than the simple rights equal to those held by
other citizens.

In any test, where a balance between "ethics" and the "peoples' right
to know" is in question, it always will tip in favor of the people.

While "being secure in ones' person" is a valid entitlement, our
servants have no expanded or other "rights." Indeed, if they ever
behave in any manner which is not beneficial to citizens as a whole,
their immediate removal and possible confinement comes into question.

While this "controversy" wages, if there is any question,
what-so-ever, that this is merely a ruse to hold the public enthralled
in disinformation or mechanizations and/or manipulations, those
individuals need to immediately be brought before a court and their
actions and intentions examined closely--or, such examined by our
representatives in congress--if appropriate...

Laugh as you will. These people have committed an unprecedented
act
of wreckless disregard for an ongoing intelligence operation,
endangering national security and putting dozens of human assetts
in
danger.



If by "These people", you mean the journalists involved who
mentioned Plame
by name, then you may be on to something. If by "These people" you
mean the
interviewee's who merely admitted to having heard a similar rumor,
then you
are confused.



While you ignore this, and choose to instead engage in juvenile
name
calling, we are all put in deeper peril by those we entrusted to
make
things better.


"Those we entrusted to make things better" are well on their way to
doing
so *in spite* of your continued parroting of unsubtantiated,
plagiarized,
blog-drippings or any messsage posted on usenet. And brace
yourself -- We
*will* continue to laugh at your expense. You prompt us to do so.
