More Crap from the Corner

The Corner on National Review Online

MORE RE ROVE [Cliff May]
So that would mean Rove may have been countering Wilson’s demonstrably false claim with the truth. Is it a crime in Washington to tell the truth? Actually, it probably would be if (1) Rove knew that Mrs. Wilson had been undercover, (2) if the CIA was taking assertive measures to protect her covert status, and (3) if Rove knew about Mrs. Wilson’s status because he had access to classified information.

But if those conditions have not been met, this is a tempest in a teapot – one which will be stirred for all its worth nevertheless.

Let's begin at the begining: Disclosing classifed information to unauthorized people is a crime, even in Washington, even when its true. Ok?

Still, Cliff May seems pleased to let Rove escape punnishment on a technicality, meaning its okay for Karl to ruin the career of CIA officers, damage CIA sources and methods, and possibly get some foreigners working on our behalf jailed for espionage. Does this make any sense to you law and order types? What's going on? I am so confused. Do conservatives care about morality or not?.
