"unusual" is not automatically "wrong," never mind "illegal."
If you recall, the opening post here was screaming about "constitutional rights" and "abuse of power." Nothing in this situation justifies the horrified shrieking I'm hearing from Washington and elsewhere, including here, and you know it as well as I do.
This is a political witch hunt, generated quite some time after the fact (in case you hadn't noticed) primarily because "Plamegate" fell flat on its face.
You can believe that they have a couple more things in the hopper when this one has petered out, too.
Like I said, I wish the Democrats were one tenth as worried about real problems as they are about destroying Bush.
