Impeach the bastards
Atrios and all of Left Blogistan is absolutely killing on the whole Wilson thing. I can't begin to express my (a) rage that someone that high up in the adminstration would do something so stupid and so capable of getting that government's own agents and sources possibly killed (b) glee that they did something much definably worse than Clinton ever did. How there can not be serious reprecussions for this is beyond me. To quote Mark Kleiman quoting MSNBC (not exactly 'liberal media'):
"CIA lawyers followed up the notification this month by answering 11 questions from the Justice Department, affirming that the woman’s identity was classified, that whoever released it was not authorized to do so and that the news media would not have been able to guess her identity without the leak, the senior officials said. The CIA response to the questions, which is itself classified, said there were grounds for a criminal investigation, the sources said."
And is the fucking CIA; not traditionally a bunch of bleeding hearts.

That's great to hear, although as a Canadian citizen in Canada I won't be signing anything myself. Thanks!
