Wholly unsatisfactory

That is how I found this commentary from the Christian Science Monitor on the Rove-Plame affair:

Just on face value, and that's a huge caveat because no one knows what the grand jury in this case knows, it doesn't look as if Mr. Rove has broken the law. But leak? Yes.

And perhaps, when one clears away all the weeds in this overgrown story, that's the bottom line - the leaking. The question is why? If the motives were not in the nation's interests but to score political points, then leaking is an unsavory practice, and sadly, a typical one in Washington. You might even call it a garden variety.

That's it? That's all we get...?! Newsflash: leaking is nearly always unsavory! This is wisdom-coming-down-from-on-high? Hardly.
