This is a classic case of the pundits of the right applying 'situational ethics.'

The CBS Bush memo was a fake.

The Niger "yellowcake documents" were fake.

The underlying claims of the Bush memo were backed up by an independent source.

The underlying claims of the Niger letter were false.

CBS apologizes in embarrassment.

The Bush administration -- having been informed of the forgery of the Niger documents -- still bundles it up with other unsubstantiated rumors to support the urgency of attacking a country at enormous cost in lives, money and international goodwill.

...and yet, somehow in all of this, one of the people trying to stop the waste of lives and money is supposed to be such a bad guy that a treasonous act against his wife is justified?

I've seen a lot of pretzel logic from you guys, but this just about takes the (yellow) cake.
