41. It is her DUTY to our nation, to the American people, to come forward with

this information.

A high level public official knowingly and deliberately committed a very serious crime for the purposes of petty political retribution by divulging information which breached national security and could have resulted in a person being killed.

The fact that this corrupt anonymous public official remains at large and in power within our government represents a very real imminent threat and clear and present danger to our national security.

An extreme analogy: Ms. Miller knew where Osama bin Laden was, had spoken to him, and he had told her that he was going to bomb San Francisco, and then he went on to bomb San Francisco. But she continually refused to reveal his plans and whereabouts because she wanted to protect her source(s).

It would be her duty as a citizen to report this information, because lives and national security are at stake.

While I fully agree that she is within her "rights" as a journalist to not reveal her sources, the extreme seriousness of the crime that was committed, and the fact that American lives, and our national security, will be endangered by the continuing presence of her source in a high level government position, preclude her not divulging her source(s).

She is protecting someone that is tantamount to a traitor, and is plainly consenting not only to the commission of his crime but also to his continual treasonous, possibly deadly threat to our nation by his ongoing presence in our government.

How can we possibly put trust in a public official that deliberately reveals the identity of a CIA agent solely for the purpose of petty political revenge?

Miller should be shouting this traitor's name from the rooftops.
