Definition of Treason

Dictionary definition: betrayal of country: a violation of the allegiance owed by somebody to his or her own country, e.g. by aiding an enemy

From George Bush Sr., former head of the CIA:

"We need more human intelligence. That means we need more protection for the methods we use to gather intelligence and more protection for our sources, particularly our human sources, people that are risking their lives for their country. Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors." - George H.W. Bush, April 16, 1999, Dedication Speech, George Bush Center for Intelligence

Valerie Plame was a covert agent. If she wasn't, why did the CIA request an investigation into the leak of her identity and why did the Bush Justice Department agree to do the investigation? And why did Bush claim (wrongly, it turns out) that he would fire whomever was responsible for the leak? But anyway, Plame was working on issues of nuclear proliferation. Her identity was exposed by the Bush Administration and Cheney's former Chief of Staff, Scooter Libby, was found guilty of Obstruction of Justice and Perjury in a jury trial conducted by a Bush appointed prosecutor in front of a Bush appointed Judge.

If someone supports Libby's attempt to protect the indentity of the leaker(s), would this not make them accomplices to treason? Kender? Maybe you could help us out? Maybe you could try to do it without profanity for once? It's funny how right-wingers like to assail "libtards" as being traitors and anti-American. Ann Coulter wrote an entire book about it. But when it's thrown back at them, they get so indignant.

Mind you, this Administration violates the Constitution itself on a regular basis (warrantless wiretapping, for example), so they should already be impeached on that basis alone, but right-wingers won't care about that until a Democrat is doing it and then right-wingers will be forced to deal with the consequences of their indifference to such violations when Bush set the precedent. Way to go, guys!
