Firedoglake appears to be running nonstop coverage of the news about Plamegate -- whether Rove and other higher-ups will be caught in the prosecutorial net for outing an undercover CIA agent for political payback (see background on story here and here). Lots of folks like to dismiss this issue as political maneouvering, or as way overblown ("heck, she worked in a boring office in public view"), but today RedHedd gives a good description of how her outing affects real people and damages the national interest. It takes years to set up effective information and action networks, and to blow that all away for a moment of self-gratifying retribution (or an extra chip in some beltway game) is unconscionable.
