You don't seem to understand what it means to call someone to the carpet. It doesn't involve ruining his wife's career, or jeopardizing national security to do it.

This assumes that (i) her career was ruined and (ii) national security was jeopardized. Since both of these assumptions are patently false, let's move on...

And you've never been able to explain this conceit of a conflict of interest. It's downright loopy. You wingers have become convinced that Niger is the African equivalent of Maui, a place where anyone would love to go to hang out on the sand and soak up some sun.

Which conceit? Oh you mean this one : that some non covert desk jockey at CIA sends her out-of-work husband, an anti-Administration guy, on a "fact-finding mission", which facts, when not in line with his own personal politics, are conveniently distorted and omitted upon his return.
