Evidently, in the future I should concentrate on saying a bunch of things to repeat what the article explicitly refuted, so that others won't blindly assume that I have an opinion that the article explicitly refuted.
Does that about cover it? :

And the article directly refuted.

Just out of curiousity, is it possible to derive any conclusion about what DID happen instead of fixating comments on what has been explicitly acknowledged as something that did not happen?

These guys aren't "any employee".
These are the people who typically have DAILY DIRECT CONTACT with the president and vice-president.
People who DIRECTLY ADVISE the president and vice-president.

Not omniscience, but if I found out that my secretary was involved in leaking secret company information, I'd be pretty pissed.
I would seek prosecution.
Not do my best to see that the pereson involved receives no real punishment.

For somebody who has no problem with the president's ever expanding power, you sure like to pretend he's powerless...

I have no doubt that somebody can get the wool pulled over their eyes.
But this IS NOT THE FIRST indication of Bush being incompetent and clueless.
"You're doing a heck of a job Brownie..."
Sitting in a classroom for several minutes after he was told the country was UNDER ATTACK...

When it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, it's an incompetent president.

I'm sorry, but do you get that outing a CIA agent is a crime in this nation?
This has nothing to do with "partisan", except on the parts of some who feel it is easy to deflect the FACTS of the situation with incessant attempts to try to obfuscate the issue.

Valid criticism is made of Bush and his administration?
Why REFUTE the fact that it is valid criticism (which you don't really deny) when you can just complain that the other person is "partisan".
Or maybe they "hate Bush".

The topic is thoroughly avoided, and instead you've attacked the person pointing it out in a "passive aggressive" stance...
