To hear various Bush apologists tell it, disclosing the name of an
undercover CIA operative doesn't really count if:
-----the traitor(s) disclosed the classified information to Bob Novak
in person, rather than by telephone
-----the traitors who disclosed the identity of the undercover CIA
operative didn't ask Bob Novak to "leak" the information
-----the CIA refers "about 50" suspected disclosures a year (shades of
"But it was only 16 words in a whole big speech with lots and lots of
words!")
-----no harm has yet come to the CA operative whose identity was
disclosed by White House traitors
Yes, believe it or not, those are some of the ludicrous defenses of
Bush's treasonous high level officials floated by Republican
apologists.
Unfortunately for them, the law doesn't agree.
Unfortunately for America, John Ashcroft is unlikely to pay attention
to the law, and the state-run national media are unlikely to compel
him to do so.

The fact remains that it is a felony to reveal the identity of an
