Martha went to jail; so should White House Traitors.
Tell President Bush: Don't Pardon Traitors
His father called them the "most insidious of traitors." He was referring, of course, to those who reveal the identities of America's covert operatives.
It's now abundantly clear -- people working in this Bush administration conspired to do precisely that.
Tell this President that any pardons in this affair would be a direct encouragement of treason.
This whole case has always been about the Bush Administration's brazen efforts to mislead the American public into supporting the invasion of Iraq. This isn't a failed real estate deal, or a stained blue dress -- this is the national security of the United States, deliberately compromised by high-level officials in this administration.
Working Assets is calling on President Bush to publicly renounce any potential use of the presidential pardon in this case and let justice run its course. There is simply no reason to use pardon powers to shelter those who may have committed acts of treason against our nation.
Tell the President that his "get out of jail free" card should NOT be used in cases of treason.
Please forward this newsletter to your friends, email lists, and bloggers you know to help spread the word about this important campaign!
Thank you for working to build a better world.

Dear blogging friends:
Please join me in asking the President to renounce the use of presidential pardons for anyone indicted by the special prosecutor in the "Treason-gate" scandal. This was one of the most serious crimes in our nation's history -- the deliberate outing of a CIA operative as political retribution against her husband for speaking the truth to power.

Thank you for the forum, Tabs. I will reserve my judgement until indictments are issued, if they are. Regardless of all that, this whole thing stinks to high heavan.
Thanks for pointing this out - I'm highlighting the press angle:

I think both approaches are good.
OK, one indictment is out, and I'm in! A group of ordinary citizens decided there is enough evidence for Scooter to stand trial for lying to the courts. Spin it any way you want, and he's innocent until proven guilty, but this indictment wasn't the result of some rogue prosecutor. It comes from a lot of hard work from people who are truly dedicated to the Rule of Law, and not a bunch of political hacks who use the term to get themselves elected.
I heard one of the Republican nuts say that they shouldn't indict people for procedural crimes like perjury.
Well, shit, they tried to impeach the last president.
Politicians just KILL me.
