KARL ROVE: WORSE THAN OSAMA BIN LADEN
Another interesting article.

$1:
Bin Laden, after all, has no affiliation with, and therefore no presumed loyalty to, the United States. Rove, on the other hand, is a U.S. citizen and, as deputy White House chief of staff, a high-ranking official of the U.S. government sworn to uphold and defend our nation, its laws and its interests. Yet he sold out America just to get even with Joe Wilson.
Osama bin Laden, conversely, is loyal to his cause. He has never exposed an Al Qaeda agent's identity to the media.
"[Knowingly revealing Plame's name and undercover status to the media]...is a violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act and is punishable by as much as ten years in prison," notes the Washington Post. Unmasking an [intelligegence] agent during a time of war, however, surely rises to giving aid and comfort to America's enemies--treason. Treason is punishable by execution under the United States Code.

Good stuff. Now, let's see the neocons here try to unravel that logic.
If it wasn't treason, then there was no state of 'war'. If there was no state of 'war', then Iraq can be rightfully be called an 'invasion'.
Ethier way, the editors at Time should be fired. Or, reporters should refuse to work there now that they've shown that they have no integrity.

It's not much worse than the idiotic shite that Limbaugh, Coulter, and O'Reilly spew forth on a daily basis.
