Daily Kos has an article about how the Bushies are treasonous because they outed a spy during a war. Several things wrong with that. One, no one has ever said she was a spy. She was secret or whatever, but it's tough to actually be a spy when you've spent at least the last five years working a desk job in D.C. Who was she spying on, the cleaning staff? Two, Judith Miller's recent testimony makes it even less likely that any Bushies leaked anything on this subject. Three, where was Daily Kos when Americans were holding up signs supporting the people we are warring against? Is that not aid and comfort the enemy, which strikes me as more treasonous than outing someone who had little or nothing to do with the war anyway? It's all well and good to accuse people of treason, but not if you only do when it's someone on the other side. As yet I've seen no right wingers supporting the enemy in any way, but you can't say the same for left wingers. Not that I'm saying all left wingers are traitors, far from it. Very few are nutty enough to actually support the killing of American soldiers by Muslim Islamists, but there are some out there, and those people are traitors in spirit if not in action.
