White House politicos commit treason
One sidelight to this is that a lot of bloggers who are not necessarily sympathetic to the Bushies are quick to decry any suggestions that Novak should be compelled to reveal his source(s) as to who told him that Valerie Plame was a "CIA operative". Well, yes, First Amendment and all that, but do you think for one minute if this was the Clinton White House, and it was someone like Helen Thomas who broke the story, she wouldn't be subpoenaed and subject to government coersion?
I say drag the son-of-a-bitch Novak in front of a judge and make him defend the First Amendment and journalistic rights.
And get it on television.
(They should "frog march" him to the courthouse, too)
