Representative Tom Davis is the attorney for the Administration. But there&#8217;s one clearly absurd point. Dr. Knodell argued that there was no Administrative Investigation of the C.I.A. Leaks <u>because<\/u> there was a Criminal Investigation underway by the Justice Depoartment. This point isn&#8217;t partisan, it&#8217;s factual. The point of an Administrative Investigation is to plug the leak and prevent future leaks. It has nothing to do with criminality. This makes absolutely no sense. The fact of a criminal investigation addresses something in the past. The Administrative responsibility of these two men addresses not only the past, but the present, and the future. To suspend the Administrative Investigation because there is a Criminal Investigation is way backwards, totally uspide down. Find the source and plug it trumps punish the criminal 100% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>And as for Victoria Toensing [February 18, 2007]:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div align=\"center\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2007\/02\/16\/AR2007021601705.html\"><strong>Trial in Error<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<div><strong>Plame was not covert<\/strong>.
