Should any rational person have any respect for CIA outing, 5 deferment Cheney?

Here's the deal, and regardless of what you think politically. The most serious charge that could have been brought would have been the outing of a covert spy. Yet, that didn't happen. Ask yourself why? Because she was not covert as defined by the applicable law and Fitzpatrick knew it. So, you have an investigation in which there was no crime until one was created in the investigation....Nice!
