Incarceration is Needed

With the continuing testimony in the Lewis Libby trial, it is very apparent that high ranking members of the Bush administration have violated the law and committed treasonous acts. What we need now is for someone to prosecute these slimeballs. The disclosure of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame was a signature event in the history of this country that puts the lives of all covert agents in peril.

The 'outing' of Valerie Plame was done for purely partisan reasons, as payback by a group of petty, mendacious, and criminal, political scumbags who cared nothing for her life nor the lives of her contacts. Plame was working under cover, investigating Iran and it's capability with regards to weapons of mass destruction. To say that she was serving our country and working to enhance our safety, is an understatement. To say that her betrayers are the lowest form of amoral scoundrels does not describe their treachery in harsh enough terms.

The traitor roll call: Ari Fleischer, Richard Armitage, Lewis Libby, and Karl Rove.

So, we have Libby(Chief of Staff to VP Cheney), Fleischer (Chief White House spokesman), Rove (Chief White House political operative), and Armitage (Deputy Secretary of State) all involved with revealing a covert CIA agents' identity. What an amazing coincidence? Or was it a concerted campaign to discredit her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who was causing big problems by raising doubts about the Iraqi WMD claims being made by Bush and his thugs?

May they rot in jail.
