Plamegate

Wow. The Bush administration cares soooo much about national security that it's willing to out an active, covert CIA operative just to embarass her husband. But that's not all. Oh, no. That is not all. The NY Times reports that the FBI is now expanding itsinvestigation: "Prosecutors investigating whether someone in the Bush administration improperly disclosed the identity of a C.I.A. officer have expanded their inquiry to examine whether White House officials lied to investigators or mishandled classified information related to the case, lawyers involved in the case and government officials say." The coverup was worse than the crime in the early 1970s. What makes this crowd think it's any different in the early 2000s? The more things change...
