If reporters can reveal an "off-the-record" comment by Clark
why can't they tell us who leaked the Valerie Plame story?

Oh, wait a minute. One situation involves a a breach of good taste by a candidate gosipping about a rumor he heard concerning another candidate, thereby possibly putting his opponent's candidacy in jeopardy. The other involves a breach of national security by a high level government official exposing a CIA agent, thereby putting her life in jeopardy.

I can certainly understand why the former is a MUCH worthier reason to reveal a source.

3. Yes. Knowing about a candidate's sex life is much better for all of us
than finding out who in the Bush Administration is breaching national security in order to get back at its critics.

7. Who are these reporters?
They need to go on the record. Clark has stated he did not make the comment and I believe him. It's disgusting how they still try to smear a good man because they fear him so much.

8. Exactly right, skw
What reporters? Names, please? Direct quotes anyone?

Come on... "sources" said there were WMDs too.

"Sources" my ass.

I've got THREE "sources" that said Matt Sludge hired Candy Crowley to dress up like George Bush so he could spank him light a naughty school girl.

You can't argue with me. I have SOURCES!!!!!
