Ok with the Karl Rove situation we had ( at worst) Karl Rove outing some one whom *IF* they were still listed as an undercover/clandestine agent it was by the CIA failing to modify her status post her probable outing by Aldrich Aimes to attack her husband who was at the time a supporter and later operative of the Kerry Campaign.

But, it is worth examining- What if this had happened during the Clinton administration? What if it was Paul Begala or someone like him who was accused of outing a CIA agent? What would the right be doing?
Ok I got one better for you John.
Lets say the Clinton National Security adviser, when asked to testify about relevant work he did regarding terrorist threats took documents which had hand written notes on them, thus making them "original documents" and stole them from the National Archives then later "accidentally" destroyed them in his home while the role of his administration regarding International terror was being investigated. Did we see in 2004 this be a big issue in the campaign? Did you see rush hammer the point day after day the way the far left is with the Plame case? Did you see mainstream conservatives figures making a call for treason? no you sure didn't.
And this occured when the republicans were IN POWER. Sandy got a relative slap on the wrist for a serious crime ( stealing of classified documents and destroying them without authorization). And when the Republicans were In power Sandy Berger got a slap on the wrist.
That is some perspective for you right there. I highly expect Chuck Schummer to make Valerie Plame an issue in the 06 election cycle. We didn't see Sandy Berger and his slap on the wrist as an issue in the 2004 election cycle.
Sandy Berger will probably get some position dealing with classified matters the next time the Democrats own the white house.... and republicans haven't said or done dizick to stop it.
