The Editor's Desk
This week also marks the debut of two new occasional contributors to our pages and to Newsweek.com: Karl Rove and Markos Moulitsas. They are controversial figures, which is why we asked them aboard. We have a long tradition of asking practitioners and opinion makers to write for us (George Stephanopoulos is a good recent example) and believe that Rove and Moulitsas will give readers useful perspectives. Sometimes they will write in the same issue (as they are this week), sometimes not. Agree or disagree with them, or with me for asking them to contribute from time to time, we can safely say this: conducted civilly (as it will be here), debate and disagreement are good and healthy things. I think I read that in a book somewhere.

Comment: I too would not have renewed had I known Karl Rove would be a contributor. I'm holding an offer to add a year to my subscription. No way, unless Newsweek changes its mind about Rove.

Comment: I have to agree with the others. I would not have renewed my subscription if I knew Rove was on board and I will likely not renew it in the future. I think using Stephanopoulos as an example of a similarly controversial figure is ridiculous. It's a whole different sort of controversary when it includes possible indictments and acts of treason. I respect Newsweek and its desire to offer a spectrum of thought, George Will comes to mind. However, your providing Rove with a platform legitimizes his actions and crosses a line that is unacceptable. Shame on you Newsweek for your lack of good judgement.
