i shouldn't be amazed, yet i constantly am, at the ability of people to simply see posts as one side or the other.
i'm not on hillary's side on this. i worked in a secure environment for a couple years, i have some pretty good knowledge of proper procedures and the consequences.

however, i've not heard anything, even accusations, that rise to the level of "treasonous" or anything comparable to what cheney did in plamegate.
at worst, it's the difference between negligent homicide and premeditated murder. both are crimes, but there's a huge difference in their nature and appropriate punishment.

just to be clear, even if everything anti-hillary is true, it's still very different from plamegate

again, i didn't say it was ok if true, but not, accidental is not worse than deliberate.

She and her supporters have an excuse for everything. Her email was set up that way
