Secrets Revealed

The outing of Valerie Plame by the Cheney Apparatus in the Bush Administration was to serve several purposes.

1. As a warning to others not to stand in the way or criticise Administration policy's. Or risk the wrath of Office...

2. As revenge on someone who did stand in the way of the Administration and its stated agenda.

However what it revealed about Mr VP was that he is a narrow minded vindictive person who really should have known better by taking a longer view of the matter. Mr VP probably thought he was nipping the problem of leaks that might stand in the way of the stated agenda of the Bush Administration. What he did do in fact was act impulsively in the matter, which in the long run convicted an Aide of his and undermine the credibility of the Administration. In other words he brought harm to the man he is supposed to serve.
