recap for me?
I hadn't thought of that. That compromising the WoT keeps it going. Good point.
But, I think this was Rove (got his start playing Segretti) who made this leak as a political move. I don't think he thought about it or cared about it in terms of net positive or negative effect vis a vis the War on Terror. He made a calculation on how to protect his puppet.
The quote by the WH official in the WP today was telling (and Josh Marshall picked up on it). They didn't stop at 'it was a mistake' went on to say it was a mistake because it was ineffective (in protecting bush). Suggests this was just a political maneuver.
