I can understand the administration's hesitancy to prosecute the slimes and others in general. They need THE perfect case, but THIS IS THE PERFECT CASE. It is absolutely indefensible. They need do this only once to put these cowards in their place. That will be a sad day of course because the ratmedia will hesitate to print genuine stories in the future, but they brought it on themselves. Now if we do the right thing we all will suffer. Shame on you ratmedia, shame on you.

Bush would be beyond negligent to let this thing slide. It is critical to our national security that he plug the leaks (and, if need be, plug the leakers).

Does Bush have the courage to act notwithstanding a political-capital deficit? I am not hopeful.
