"Simply put, I fundamentally believe it isn't appropriate for former aides to cash in by writing kiss-and-tell novels... As old fashioned as it sounds, I also believe in the idea that you ought to treat someone how you would want to be treated in similar circumstances. If someone places their trust in you, you're faced with a clear choice of either validating or violating that trust."
-- Joel Sawyer, former communications director for South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, writing for the Ripon Forum.
