OK, I've thought about it (before you even suggested it, believe it or not).
What I realize is that the only people being held in contempt for refusing to talk are reporters. I don't seen any government people not talking.
If you're referring to grand jury secrecy by "not talking", that is false. Secrecy does not equal "not talking". The SP presented reams of documentation to the courts to buttress the grand jury subpoenas and the courts stated they were not abusive but necessary.
To me, it looks like you agree with me on more than you disagree. I never said that the SP was abusive, or tried to defend the reporters' actions.
The only thing we disagree on, as far as I can see, is the question of whether Plame was truly "covert." You say no, I say yes. And the only reason I say yes is that we would not have gotten this far if she hadn't been.
