Why isn’t traitor Novak in jail?
Instead of spewing nonsense to reporters?
During a recent interview with the National Ledger, conservative columnist Robert Novak was asked if he would reveal Valerie Plame Wilson’s secret CIA identity if he could go back and do it all over again. Novak noted that he has previously said he “should have ignored” what he had been told about Plame, but he now claims he is “much less ambivalent”:
NOVAK: I’d go full speed ahead because of the hateful and beastly way in which my left-wing critics in the press and Congress tried to make a political affair out of it and tried to ruin me. My response now is this: The hell with you. They didn’t ruin me. I have my faith, my family, and a good life. A lot of people love me – or like me. So they failed. I would do the same thing over again because I don’t think I hurt Valerie Plame whatsoever.
But of course, Plame was “hurt” because of Novak’s column – she no longer has a career as a covert CIA agent. </em>
By blowing Plame’s cover, Novak, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby and President Bush gave “aid and comfort” to our enemies, by terminating the work Plame was doing in the Middle East on WMDs. They should all be rotting in a jail cell or swinging by the neck in the winds blowing across the Washington Mall- not blathering bullshit to reporters.
