[edit] Plame sentence

I do not think the Plame sentence is "nonsense," though it is poorly written. This event, like the Plame incident, has led some to believe that the Bush Admin is willing to compromise national security secrets for petty political gain. The incidents have been related by commentators; this should be referenced here in some way.--csloat 23:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Indeed they should. Gzuckier 19:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
why?? only bloggers make the unusual connection between the two. Anthonymendoza 23:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, leaving bloggers, Freep, online petitions et al out of it, how's about (a partial search, not to be considered complete):

well, i think the articles you cited are weak (the Village Voice article still maintains Khan's name was revealed during a background briefing and the washington post article was written as the story was still unfolding). however, i think your edits were good and i have no complaints. the only change i will make is to delete the washington post from the plame related article. Anthonymendoza 22:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
also, i think you should reference at least two of the above articles for the paragraph.Anthonymendoza 22:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
OK, I'm glad we reached a consensus. Gzuckier 15:44, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
