Bush-Cheney Traitors Deserve Prison, Impeachment
Published on Tuesday, November 1, 2005 by uExpress.com
by Ted Rall

Urbana, Illinois --To weigh the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame against historical standards, consider that no leader of the Soviet
Union--including that master of ruthlessness, Josef Stalin--ever arranged for the name of a KGB operative to appear in a newspaper.
Adolf Hitler had countless millions murdered, yet getting at a political enemy by endangering agents of the Sicherheitsdienst, the
Nazi intelligence service, didn't cross his mind. In this respect, not even the worst tyrants have stooped to the level of George W.
Bush.

Don't let the Republicans distract you. Treasongate isn't just about deposed vice presidential chief of staff Scooter Libby, who has
been charged with five felony counts and faces 30 years in prison, or even deputy presidential chief of staff Karl Rove, who may soon
be charged as well. The Libby charges clearly point to the real culprit: Dick Cheney, who told Libby about Plame's covert status in
the first place. Cheney abused his security clearance to find out. "Libby understood that the vice president had learned this
information from the C.I.A.," reads page five of the indictment.

"Cheney doesn't have a legal problem, but he has a political problem," a White House official told the New York Times. For now.

The stink on Karl Rove rubbed off on his boss. When Treasongate first broke in 2003, Bush promised to get to the bottom of the
Plame leak and fire everyone involved. Now we know that he is the bottom of the cover-up. "An angry President Bush rebuked chief
political guru Karl Rove two years ago for his role in the Valerie Plame affair," reported the New York Daily News, which owns the
story of this scandal, in an account the White House tacitly confirmed with a meaningful inside-the-Beltway no-comment: silence =
truth. "A second well-placed source said some recently published reports implying Rove had deceived Bush about his involvement in
the Wilson counterattack were incorrect and were leaked by White House aides trying to protect the President," says the News.

1. I thought Rall was restrained in his view
Actually, I think we all know what really should happen to these criminals - and the thieves in big oil and other admin corporate hack companies.
The illicit admin likes to wrap themselves in OUR flag as the true patriots. They are, in fact, our worst enemies. More dangerous than the elusive Al-Quaida, more entrenched than any other radical fringe group.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have met the enemy - and they run our country.

2. Notwithstanding your and Ted's views, the idolatrous ideologues chant
for four more years, four more years, not caring a whit about the issues raised.
