We really need to drive the point Libby is a traitor!

[Carl21014]

These vile Republicans are dancing around legalese saying there was no underlying crime therefore Libby should get off by a pardon. We need to forcefully assert in every debate that these guys are traitors to their country for what they did. Further we need to link anyone who defends them as traitors as well.

The goal and the result will be a disclaimer they will have use saying they don't approve of leaking a CIA Agent's name. Traitor, traitor, traitor!!!

1. More to the point:

they outed an undercover CIA agent working on weapons of mass destruction during a "time of war."

People can understand that. This is the treason that Libby was covering up with this perjury and obstruction of justice.

2. even more to the point

It goes back to the "16 words" that bush uttered

It goes back to all the LIES and misleads and intell manipulation and cherry picking the bush administration used to justify invading Iraq

Why was Plame outed? To shut down Wilson and discredit him.

Why did they want to shut down Wilson? to prevent ANY questioning of the "intell" used to justify invading Iraq.

Why Prevent Questions? BECAUSE IT WOULD REVEAL THAT BUSH/CHENEY/RUMSFELD et al LIED TO US
