Alas for your argument, they didn't know about "this".

However, Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson's "friends" did ~ another poster says those nasty Instant Messages date from 2003.

So yeah, there's a crime here ~ most likely Foley's crime, but also a crime commited against the Speaker of the House by CIA agents.

They couldn't take out the President, or even that ol'hurricane-maker, Karl Rove, and they barely laid a hand on Cheney. However, that's not stopping them from trying to take out the Speaker and the Republican leadership in the House.

I wouldn't be surprised a bit if we find out that Mary McCarthy was "holding the paper" for them.

It sounds like you are getting close to losing it. Take a deep breath and slow down. Don't confuse issues. Much of what you say is true. But, it is important not to mix political transgressions. You cannot minimize immoral behavior by attempting to discount its meaning through a comparative justification with another wrong.
