Man, are you cynical. Ends and means are a moral equivalent.
How can justice result from injustice?
The Bush administration was determined to sieze Iraq and cynically searched for the means to achieve that goal. The end, US soveriegnty over Iraq, and in fact the entire middle east, was defined by the PNAC manifesto of 1998. The constitution does not allow for this type of hubris. That is a result of the takeover of our government by the forces of globalization.
Another of the boogers Bush has smeared on the honorable face of America is the Valerie Plame affair. "Dare to expose presidential lies? We will ruin your wife! Is she helping protect America from terrorists? Well not anymore, because we don't like what you said!"

| Whether the motivation behind the leak was to discredit me or to discourage intelligence officials from coming forward, or both, is immaterial at this stage. What matters is that, as of this writing, the senior administration officials who took it upon themselves to protect a political agenda by exposing a national security asset are still in place. They still occupy positions of trust; they continue to hold full national security clearances. The breach of trust between the administration and its clandestine service will not be healed until they are exposed and appropriately punished. |
