"You see, we hate GW Bush and want Democrats in power. Sooooo, we stirred up the phony Plame thingy to try to get Karl Rove indicted because we hate him too. But, that didn't work so well. Soooo, we were partners in a treasonous act with Democrat Senators and former Clinton appointees in the CIA and NSA to expose National Security secrets because we could "spin" it that Bush wants to spy in people's bedrooms. We realized this would hurt America's safety, but we hate America too, so what the hell. Got it?"
