List of reasons why Novak should be lynched for Treason

[zbdent]

Unfortunately for Mr. Novak:

1. September 11 changed everything

2. Non-liberals have been quite vocal about the idea that certain portions of the Constitutional Rights can be waived; relevant to his situation is the First Amendment vs National Security, and the indefinite incarceration of anyone who aids the terrorists, and until Bush took office, outing any CIA covert agent is working against the war on terror. (Despite the spin, the White House regarded the operative as undercover).

3. "There ought to be limits to free speech" - George W. Bush, prior to December 12, 2000.

4. The Dixie Chicks have been pilloried for actually speaking their minds, in a way which causes far less damage to the war on terror than compromising CIA agents' covers

5. We are at war, despite George W. Bush's May 1 declaration "Mission Accomplished" - soldiers are still dying in the "War on Terror" in Iraq, sent there on the idea of weapons of mass destruction. Sadly, their excuse for the war now (human rights violations) is based on something which was ignored by the Republicans for a long time, brought out only when their original premise was exposed as fabrications.

6. Revelation of a CIA operative, in peacetime as well as during a war, is a Federal offense, signed into law by George H.W. Bush

7. A very limited number of people were aware of the role this CIA operative played. I would guess that her husband and the CIA were aware, along with the White House
