Is outing a covert CIA agent in time of war treasonous?

Post by Xose »

Now that Libby has been indicted, Karl Rove must certainly on the hot seat for the next ticket to see the judge. But the question remains this: For an administration so keen on "American Values" and "Protecting Freedom," isn't it ironic that Bush's top advisors are being investigated for helping America's enemies? And during a time of WAR, no less? Didn't we used to shoot people for treason during wartime? I mean, is blowing the cover of a covert operative an "American Value"?

Speaking of shock and awe, I got my gas bill today, a 20 percent increase over last year...at a time when oil and drug companies are declaring huge profits for the third quarter. "Compassionate Comservative" are just words that will not keep me warm this winter.

About Tom ( The Hammer ) Delay, he had a judge removed from his case because of his donations to Democratic causes. If a judge donates to crime- stoppers can he be removed from a criminal case?

Just being of a different political party should make a difference as long as the judge is capable of maintaining objectivity. Would justice be better served if he was tried by a Republican? No.

Was the judge who was removed from the case a rabid democrat? That might make a difference. But, in Delay's eyes any Democrat might seem rabid. (It's the tinted glasses, Tom!)
