I think it's good to be skeptical but I'm not sold that RS is bad. And that whole 'once a spook always a spook' is a myth. I grew up in MD, my whole family is govt and I've met with ex spooks that clearly don't work for CIA anymore. Until there is more damning evidence against Steele I will consider him an ally. I don't like the blanket amnesty that he and George Webb are calling for. You just have to understand how these delicate situations play out in the real world, plea bargaining and such is normal. I agree though, I think all need to fry but Steele and Webb are just looking at the practical way these things are often done.

Dude, Roger Stone has been a dirty tricks pro for the GOP probably for longer than you have been alive. The man was a protege of mob-lawyer supreme Roy Cohn and sports a giant Nixon tattoo on his back. The man is for real twisted and not to be trusted. And as far as Steele and Webb are concerned - what type of person calls for blanket amnesty when the rape and murder of children is involved? There is a reason you are uncomfortable with that.

I agree, I think they all need to get whats coming to them but you are missing the point of amnesty. The reason why it is suggested is because you can't just remove 1/3 of the entire govt. I mean in theory. Just saying, these guys calling for this particular situation does not necessarily mean they are evil or compromised, they just understand the situation and how these things are often handled. Either way you know these creeps aren't going to just lie down and take amnesty anyway, you know they will fight tooth and nail..

EDIT: oh and when I said RS I meant Robert Steele not Roger Stone

Meh. I say once a spook, always a spook. None of them are to be trusted. Especially those bearing gifts. Those guys don't have "road to Damascus" moments. They are far too well screened and indoctrinated for that. They are also master liars. If a wolf smells even a trace of a human on something, he will avoid it like the plague. We should do likewise with spooks and their "information".
