... and it wasn't ok for the Governor of NY to compel a prostitute to cross state lines.
Both are illegal felonies, and both should (have) result(ed) in resignation.
I am disappointed that Mr. Greenwald is equivocating on behalf of the Governor. This is the first time I have disagreed with anything he has written. I am surprised because I had believed that Glenn was one of the most evenhanded journalists I have read. His reaction to this even has caused me to reexamine my prior opinion of his work.
The entire question of political motivation on the part of the Bush Justice Department is another issue entirely. I do feel that this is quite probably a result of warrantless wiretapping.
The prosecutors could gather enough information illegally to subsequently investigate and strike 'legally' without betraying their original illicit sources.
I suspect that, like the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, there will be few individuals involved in this scandal exhibiting noble intentions.
