It's one of these situations: Novak, by putting 2+2 together after speaking with some people (probably 1st off Sec Armitage) figures out that Ms. Plame was Mr. Wilson's husband. Novak also knows that this would make a great story: discredit Mr. Wilson by spinning up a it-was-all-partisan-nepotism story. So Novak runs around confirming Ms. Plame's identity intending solely to discredit anyone questioning Mr. Bush's contention that Hussein was a Nuke waiting to go off. (Which, ironically, we now know he wasn't.) Of course Rove is all in on a smear-the-questioners approach and probably encourages it. Bill Harlow, CIA spokesman, confirms it as well but warns Novak against revealing it. Novak disregards Harlow's warning in his zeal to personally destroy a Bush detractor and writes about it. So what's wrong? Back to Jerry's point. Everybody citizen (99%) want whats best for the country. The problem is that we all differ on what's best and how to accomplish on what we agree is best. The intelligent way to arbitrate these disagreements into thoughtful actions is to talk about the facts, list the pros and cons, and find a middle ground. The dishonorable way to approach it is to take a Scorched Earth approach: destroy your dissenters thus leaving yours as the view. This is the approach that the current administration takes as well as many of its supporters. Such as Novak did here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:5/messageid:211115 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
