If a senior White House staffer had
intentionally outed a CIA agent during World War II,
he'd have been shot.
We're at war, George Bush keeps reminding
us. We cannot continue with business as usual. A
pre-9/11 mentality is deadly. Putting the lives of our
troops at risk is treason.
Then why is the White House and the
Republican party engaged in a concerted campaign to make
treason acceptable during a time of war? That's exactly
what they're doing. On numerous news shows, Republican
surrogates, their talking points ready, issued
variations of the following concerning White House chief
of staff Karl Rove's outing of a covert CIA agent as
part of a political vendetta:
○ It's the criminalization of politics
○ Is this 'minor' leak really worth all
this?
○ Political payback is common and should
not be criminalized
○ Mis-speaking or mis-remembering is not
a crime
Yes, the Republicans are now making light
of an intentional effort to expose an undercover CIA
agent, working on weapons of mass destruction in the
Middle East, no less, while we are at war in the Middle
East on that very issue.
THE GOP
HAS BECOME THE
PARTY OF TREASON
