Harvey Wasserman's accurate, if disheartening, encyclopedia of
indictable criminal actions by the man that our Republican Supreme
Court chose to have lead us into the 21st century is imperfect only in
the very important action that it fails to cite: Bush's tolerance of
the continuing employment at the highest level of government of the two
"senior officials" who revealed both the identity and the employment
cover of an active CIA agent. His conspiratorial participation, by
failure to order the exposure of these two traitors, is at the very
least a felony under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of
1982. It is almost as clearly a conspiratorial violation of the 1917
Espionage Act, something for which Eisenhower tolerated Ethel and
Julius Rosenberg's execution, if not of Article III, Section 3 which
defines 'treason' as, among other things, 'giving aid and comfort to
the enemy' -- And surely conspiring to retain these two traitors in
positions that give them access to such information as they have
already revealed to the enemy (as well as to ourselves, via columnist
Robert Novak) does aid our increasingly numerous enemies.
