We've got to draw the line somewhere. By policy, do you mean anti-gay policy, education policy, health care? Secretaries & assistants can work on policy matters as well, does that mean they should also be outed? Congressional staff are not public figures, and should not have the media spotlight turned on them. I'm not sure what you mean by the phrase "political appointees" - that usually refers to high-level positions within the Executive Branch. A Congressman doesn't "appoint" his staff, he just hires them. They're employees, & shouldn't be subject to public scrutiny because of their boss's political policy.
