White House Silence on Rove's Role in Leak Enters 2nd Day - New York Times
silence=guilt? consternation? anger? denial? this administration is a joke. it's not evil. it's just a bunch of corporate suits doing the usual - playing by their own rules and fucking everyone around them.
it's too banal to be evil.

I love how the web allows me to track down specifics on half-remembered things from on the banality of evil (cite follows quotation):
"Arendt's phrase [banality of evil]has entered the popular lexicon and fundamentally altered modern perceptions of evil. ... Arendt showed that when combined with a peculiar lack of empathic imagination, obedience could yield terrifying results, and that the modern state provided structures for functionaries to commit evil without considering themselves morally corrupt."

Heh, I was just going to say, "time to re-read Arendt."
