It does not prove that a crime occurred. It merely reports as "fact" some opinions that real facts either fail to support, or outright falsify. <BR/><BR/>The article even contradicts itself, in one place asserting (as "fact"!) that the Bushies leaked in order to exact revenge on Wilson and Plame, and in another place merely to discreditPaul Huehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276182482853030605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16691733.post-2779348211392342022007-03-08T07:42:00.000-05:002007-03-08T07:42:00.000-05:00Steve: All of us have opinions.
