the one thing about this case that has always bugged me is this: Why would so much effort and potential harm be invested in "outing" plame? I mean, of all the people in government, who gives a rats bellybutton about this one particular employee. As far as I can tell, she and her husband were tiny little insignificant cogs in the vast unethical washington political machine.
The only other comment I can make is that: she and her husband obviously were political shrills of the democratic power base in washington but still, very insiginicant people as far as I can tell. I would not have invested so much potential loss in outing either of them. Some one know why they were so important as to risk all this? or was it just a vile political assassination put forth by a vice president with nothing better to do?
