Tell you what, OldSchool. Since you obviously never served in the military, and did not get even the most rudimentary instruction on the handling of classified material, I will give you the simple Basic Combat Training version of what you saw in that clip.
Divulging classified information regarding what you know about an enemy can aid the enemy. It is to your advantage that the enemy not know that you know who and where he is. Knowing that you know his identity and location allows him to re-locate, conceal his identity or interfere with your gathering further intelligence.
Some intelligence can be traced back to a particular source. If, for instance, you anounce that you know I stole a five-hundred-pound bomb, and I know of only one person who knows that I stole it, I would then know that I need to whack the snitch, thus depriving you of that source of information on my activities.
John Edwards, in the Walters interview, behaved exactly as any soldier in the world would expect him to behave.
Snotty, self-important twoofers with no military credentials expect him to tell them what they want to know, consequences be damned.
Did you even bother to read any of the reports of the Valerie Plame outing? Do you understand why someone needs to go to jail over this? Do you know what a "brass plate" operation is, and why it is a useful intelligence-gathering tool? Do you even care?
And stop throwing that "Nazi" label at those who stand against the twoofers and point out how psychotic some of the "evidence" you all dredge up seems to be. That is a Nazi tactic. You twoofers are trying to "otherize" those who disagree with you. I see it all the time when ranting twoofers invade liberal discussion boards and try to ostracize actual liberals, then post glowing praises for Ron Paul, or link to Nazi sites like Iamthewitness or whatreallyhappened or prisonplanet.
