Framing. Why say 'leak' if you can be precise, informative as well as
instill curiosity leading to knowledge.

If you say 'the leak that brought down Brewster-Jennings' you bring opportunity for revelation. Finally, today, something happened that will cause a few more ears to perk up. Then a few more. Framing it as revenge on Wilson is going to turn these people right back off again. No big deal.

The R Party had a lot to gain by bringing down B-J and one person in particular - plus the people he worked for - Cheney. Bush gained by being the 'war president', the corporations won, and the politicos won because they expanded their voting base. But, Cheney is the key.

Today I heard Air America hosts keep referencing revenge. What an unbelievably horrible waste of voices.

1. Great idea
There are so many great ideas here (with wonderful videos and photoshops) that I wish that we could somehow have a list of DU's greatest hits. I have not been able to keep up and I have been on just about all day from 6:00am.

Pettiness is a relatively forgivable sin. Revenge also, how many people support the death penalty in the U.S.? This is Treason with a capital TREASON. The point is this "leak" destroyed an important CIA asset, the entirety of Brewster-Jennings.

In reality, how much did "outing" his wife hurt Joe Wilson's credibility? Outing the people with eyes on WMD in the ME and North Africa really did give them an advantage with their imperial plans methinks.
