Remember the Valarie Plame scandal? It was all the rage because the administration ALLEGEDLY leaked her identity for some sort of lame and needless revenge. Much of that has been debunked, but people still like to talk about this particular leak because it might make Bush look bad.

Why don't these same people care about much more important leaks, like the several that have come from the CIA about various middle east related plans? When I read in the paper that a government source "leaked a secret military plan too attack Al Queda" or something like that.... These are real secrets and these leaks could get people killed. Plame was never in any danger, she had a desk job in D.C. So why do people only get upset about pointless leaks, but ignore the major ones that reveal real secrets to our enemies? Because only the former makes Bush look bad.

Bush hatred makes people forget logic and blow minor incidents out of all proportion. If someone says they hate Bush, then you might as well ignore them unless Bush personally killed their grandmother with a handgun. But if someone says they don't like Bush, and they have logical reasons with real facts to back it up... That's reasonable. But don't tell me you hate Bush and your best reason is that he pissed off Europe. If he pissed off Europe so much, then why did France and Germany both elect leaders that share many of Bush's views and are far more friendly to him and the U.S. than their previous leaders? Because they don't dislike America, that's an anti-Bush canard.
