I disagree with Hightower.

a collection of thoughts, arguments, and observations
that I have found appealing and/or amusing over the years;
and, if you choose, your civil contributions which will make it into a conversation.

deniability

.
This story is perhaps apocryphal.
President Truman was urged to leak an FBI file containing dirt on his political nemesis Joseph McCarthy. He was assured that he could do it anonymously and that it wouldn't be traceable to him. He would, they assured him, have deniability.

Truman's response was: What the hell kind of word is "deniability"?

He did not release the documents.
