S/SW blog philosophy -

I credit favorite writers and public opinion makers.

A lifelong Democrat, my comments on Congress, the judiciary and the presidency are regular features.

My observations and commentary are on people and events in politics that affect the USA or the rest of the world, and stand for the interests of peace, security and justice.

CIA friends speak out

Four classmates and friends of Mrs. Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame write an open letter at TPMCafe that is very much worth reading. It is rather heart wrenching to hear them from a place so near the action.
Their letter helps to put into perspective the actual consequences of betrayals in the so-called "outing" controversy. People who did the leaking manage to ignore the potential danger of revealing CIA operatives' identities. This letter reinforces all the reasons for having a law against such revelations.
Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald has been called upon to ascertain the facts in the case; let's support that work.
