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.
This ancient place symbolizes for me how important it is to honor the past, know those who came long before us, exhibit craftsmanship, and build for the long haul. I have sought to do all this since 2005. While speaking out of very Progressive political leanings, I still maintain a deep love of the Constitution.
