This is non-news.

If a covert CIA agent can be outed and nobody takes responsibility of it or pays for it due to presidental pardons. So why concern ourselves about this minor topic.

Republicans can commit treason and if they wrap themselves in the flag while they do it, it's all right.

This is allowed by the republican party and this administration. Why would they stop if we don't hold them accountable. (Valerie Plame case).

CIA, and other like affiliates use to be respected due to information that was put out for those who were not knowing...The Republican party and the Democrat party did not make up the CIA...Men created this organization in order to keep the country protected...what ever leaks surpass the counter intelligance "eyes does not surprize any Americans today or any other who may listen or find means to uncover the actions of spies...we are now to brillant of mines to curse one party or the other...everyone points the finger but the bottom line is why would one be more counter productive than the other...men and women who commit offenses that hinder, or impede the saftey of our nation should be punished...but the court of law is now becoming a travesty, so where does one seek order and punishment...when it is deemed substantially inherient to protect the safety of our forces, our country, its people their should be no bars....nothing should be for political gain for demo, or repub's..it should be for the good of this country...this war of politics neds to get off its hine quarters and let the CIA, FBI and other intelligance groups to do their job...why we have corruption and gains in corporate America is because of our laws helping those who are able to scam the law inwhich was to protect and defend...Apachecheynne

This is the kind of a thing that makes republicans look untrustworthy, more dangerous than a rattlesnake and poison ivy.
You do not publicly accuse other people of doing things you are doing in secret.

These guys are amazing! Even when they are blatantly caught, they still try to blame the dems. They are all so crooked I'm surprised all the government buildings in DC aren't leaning - to the right of course.

Why is it ok to reveal classified administration policies trying to defeat our enemies (i.e. "domestic" surveillance), but abhorent to reveal Democtrat Congressional budget plans to damage our intelligence capacity?

Just more hypocrisy from the Republicans. They will use any means necessary to achieve their ends, legal or illegal. They have no morals, ethics, or conscience. Who needs terrorists, when Bush, Cheney, Rove, Armitage, Libby, Hoekstra, Boehner, and their ilk, are doing just fine destroying this country all by themselves. Leaking classified material to get what they want is just one more illegal tool in their devious arsenal. They feel that anyone who has a legitimate disagreement with them or their policies needs to be destroyed. Just imagine the stuff they're doing that we don't know about!

Republicans are always saying "Do as I SAY, not as I DO." You can fool some of the people some of the time and all they need is enough of the "FOOLED" to vote so they get elected, then they do as they please. This has been their trend throughout US history.

These people should be prosecuted and put in jail. Period.

When loyalty to party is of greater import than loyalty to country, it looks like this. Pathetic.

So, just to get this straight . . . repubs out a CIA agent, and classified info on the war on terror . . . no problem . . . dem allegedly leaks info re illegal wiretappping by repubs . . . search warrant and FBI raid.

Treason vs. Wistleblowing. Treason wins. Hands down.

Yeah GOP! Another victory for democracy!

Precisely! It is a double standard for the adminisitration to hunt down those who disclosed the "Terrorist Surveillance" program, on the one hand and let officials like Hoekstra and Boehner go scot free. Bush puts Nixon to shame!

This Administration led us into an unnecessary war on the basis of lies to profit the war and oil cartels. The President, Vice President, and those who assisted them are guilty of High Crimes and Misdemeanors, and probably High Treason. They should be impeached, tried, and if convicted, imprisoned for their crimes.

Where is the special prosecutor to investigate the falsified intelligence? The Plame case is only the tip of the iceberg; yet instead of digging deeper, you're inspecting ice cubes under a magnifying glass. The centrist and conservative Democrats are colluding with the Republican obstructionists to protect a treasonous President.

That ABC should dribble a headline about this little story after assisting the rest of the MSM to ignore or suppress the truth for so long--forgive me if I'm not impressed.

The mottos of boy george;

1.The ends justify the means.

2.You can't handle the truth.

3.The buck stops there.

4.Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

Hypocrisy, thy name is Grand Old Party.

The Administration and Republican lawmakers are the family values, God and country types. They are above answering to anyone. Right now, our country is in a crisis and the Congress and President (and, of course, the old sleaze, Cheney) go on vacation. They all need to come back and work.

Just let me know if and when our government is guided by the Rule of Law. When that happens, I'll pay attention to cheap tricks like this one. Until then, a loyal Bushie Republican is immune from prosecution.

Funny it's always the Democrats fault when a Repub leaks, or says something they shouldn't hell let's just blame global warming, Iraq, the stock market fall, the collapse of our bridges and dams and the mining accidents on them too! The Republicans accept no responsiblity, they hold no one accountable, all they do is tell everyone how patriotic and moral they are and then go about screwing the public and of course blame everybody but themselves. Boy I for one am so happy they brought HONOR back to the WH! What a bunch of liars, cheaters and truly pathetic people they are!

This is the Hate Party, this is the Lieing party. This is a Party that puts its own self interest ahead of the American people and you ask can they do it, the answer is yes.

The proof is the FAILING to hold tghe Administration accountable and when it does it circimvents the LAW and the WILL OF the PEOPLE, to serve its own purpose.

This party like its leadership (or the Lack of) is Gutless,Spineless,Cowards and Traitors. Theyt want nothing exept for what they can get for themselves.

Keep it up, Pete. That ol' chairmanship is going to look further and further away with each successive election.
