Over at The Goddess, Morgaine re-illuminates an interesting aspect of Karl Rove intentionally blowing the cover of Valerie Plame for political advantage.

Let's think this through for a minute. Karl Rove allegedly outed a CIA operative working on weapons of mass destruction while we are at war. Everyone is talking about him committing perjury when interviewed by the investigators. What about treason? Does he automatically get a pass on that because he's Bush's Brain? He demonstrably impeded the war effort and put agents and others in harm's way.

A Man For All Treason
How many died - literally - for his crimes?

We all know - don't we? - that KKKarl Rove, like Bush himself, is above the law. Still, that doesn't recuse us from the obligation to demand justice. The Betrayed a CIA Agent During Wartime meme needs to be relentlessly hammered in letters to the editor, blog entries and casual discussions about this incident.
