Alger Hiss' supporters made the same claims on his behalf: "Why this is a man of principle! A pillar of his community! He would never betray his country."

All fine and good. But simple denials and assurances of character from one's political allies do not make for an effective defense.

If this bureaucrat is innocent--as I hope he is--then he will be owed apologies by many. But let's have the investigation rather than simply relying on VDH's pre-emptive vouchsafing, ok?

Ok.

That's what he essentially said, too. I understood him only saying that he does not viewed the wrongs as likely.

I do think, considering the timimg especially, that this "leak" was politically motivated. Are you as adamant about Sandy Berger?
