Karl Rove needs to be tried for treason.  To reveal a name of a C.I.A. undercover agent specializing in investigating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,at a time when we most need all of the top-notch people we can get with that specialty, is beyond irresponsible.

     To do it for intimidation, to mislead the public, and for partisan politics is unforgivable.

     And I don't care what deal Robert “douchebag of liberty” Novak cut to get off.  He needs to serve some time.  He's the one who broke the story.  Rove leaked the information, but it was Novak's pen that made it public.

     As Oliver Willis points out, this just goes to show that this administration doesn't care about finding and neutrilizing terrorists to make us safer.  The effort in Iraq doesn't make us safer.

     All it does is make Halliburton richer on tax dollars, by outsourcing more and more of our national security to the friends and business partners of our leadership:

     “To fill the pivotal support jobs for deployments to Iraq, Army and Pentagon planners are increasingly turning to the Navy and Air Force to provide truck drivers and security personnel. They are relying on more Army reservists to volunteer for extended duty, hiring more private contractors and accelerating the retraining of thousands of soldiers who had been essential to the cold war, like artillerymen, to be civil affairs and military intelligence troops needed for counterinsurgency operations.”  (New York Times)
