Score one for justice!
"We need to make the statement that the truth matters ever so much," Fitzgerald said.
Fitz, oh Fitz, how I love and admire you.
"People who occupy these types of positions, where they have the welfare and security of nation in their hands, have a special obligation to not do anything that might create a problem," U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said.
Judge Walton's sure to end up on a disloyalty list one of these days, what with his apparent commitment to impartial justice.
As a side note, I would argue that the media's relatively blase' attitude to the entire CIA leak situation - with one notable exception mentioned in the post below - in the face of what has been practically, if not legally, established as Actual Treason is proof of the media's hopeless cowtowing to conservatives. I'm not exactly sure what creates these conditions - a handful of super-rich men holding the reins to 99% of traditional media? simple inertia on the part of the press corps ("we're so USED to accusing the Dems of threatening our national security!")? actual threats to reporters from the administration that they'd best not cover the story OR ELSE (detailed in the last pages of Joe Wilson's book)? - but I know full well that if anyone outside the administration, or possibly the Republican members of Congress, did anything that even began to approach the damage to our national security and interests that this situation has caused, the spewing heads on the tube would be falling all over themselves to scream "TRAITOR!!!," remind us that 9/11, um, happened, and clamor for a public execution.
