O'Donnell, like so many other lefties, have been consumed with an epic, growing hatred for Bush since 2000.
public interest also obtains in disclosing the connection between Mr. Wilson and the CIA, because the CIA - one could almost say a renegade CIA - had opposed all along President Bush's policy of a democratic liberation of Iraq. It preferred a Baathist coup. So a CIA role in attacking the president publicly about the justification for the Iraq war takes on a sinister aspect all its own, and one could argue that the real whistle-blower in this case is the still-unnamed source or sources trying to warn Americans of what was going on.

It's a point to remember as this case - which, again, involves a rogue CIA effort to undermine America's commander in chief during wartime - works its way through the courts. The real whistle-blowers and heroes here are those who understood this point and got word via the press to the American public.
