Yep. Let's agree to disagree. Because everything they've done to this point - from Bush on down through Wolfowitz and Perle - tells me they are Satan's Little Helpers.
Jumping up and down and screaming "JESUS! JESUS! JESUS!" doesn't make anyone a Christian. It's in deeds. And when I look at their deeds, I see Lucifer on roller skates, not Christ.
But my question to you was basically, why are you outraged that a lot of people think these people knew and didn't care? From where I'm sitting - as a former Dip Corps brat - outing a CIA agent because her husband has exposed the administration's lie about Iraq's weapons capability - is an act of treason that exposes how little they actually give a damn about national security.
So, with that in mind, I find your outrage at the idea that they'd deliberately disregard national security very puzzling. Because they've already made it very clear indeed that they *do* disregard it. Valerie Plame, wanting to turn an American port over to Bush's friends from a foreign state - if something fits their agenda, national security goes right to the bottom of their list.
You didn't react with a shrug and an eyeroll - you reacted with outrage. I've reacted with outrage to every flagrant disregard for the American people these guys have done, but I can list my reasons.
Why did you react the way you did? Why outrage? What are your reasons for that reaction?
