Of course, if Britain had won the war, the founding fathers WOULD have been hung as traitors.

Although I’m not defending Nozette’s action, keep in mind that he *attempted)* to sell secrets to someone he who *wasn’t* a foreign agent. Not the same as, say, Robert Hanssen, who sold secrets to the Soviets for 22 years, His activities have been described as “possibly the worst intelligence disaster in US history”.

Where is he now? In a max security prison, but STILL BREATHING.

Rako,
A couple of distinctions. The Plame affair was not a crime. Nozette committed really really bad crimes. No double standard since the two events are no where near close in comparison.

As far as founding fathers go, I agree what they did was a good thing. But there is a difference between being labeled a traitor when carrying out a revolution and selling secrets to the Israelis.

Suzie and Rako.. and maybe even Pat… Plame was not a “covert blonde” at the time that Novak “outed” her. Had that little diversion been anything approaching the realm of reality, then Novak would in fact be cooling his pen in the… ummm… well, pen… She wasn’t; it was all made up for the less than swift and amazingly it’s been brought up a—–gaaain. Gotta give it to the leftista’s; it worked (baa-a-a-a-a-a!)

As for this bufoon… He looks like the Perpetual Liar character from SNL (albeit, after a bad reaction from a bee sting). There’s no WAY that boob should’ve been cleared on that quick observation ALONE!!! And Stewwie, if you happen to come across this… PUT DOWN THE DOUGHNUT! YOU LOOK AWFUL!

Sorry, Pat it sounds like you have a double standard regarding Plame.

I disagree with the death penalty, although shooting is probably only way because fast and military like in battle. Other ways are gross. If you do spying, make it for something you believe in and take pride in being a martyr. Our founding fathers were all traitors to Britain, and I’m glad we aren’t under them.

suzie,
Its not the same thing, and you know it. Valerie Plame was not a covert agent. And revealing her identity is not the same as selling nuke and satellite secrets to a foreign state.

And the information was indeed secret and top secret, regardless of his current clearance. You must not have read the article. He told the undercover agents that he could quote much of this information from memory. The information he turned over was verified to be secret and TS level.

Obviously the outing of Plame still hurts you very deeply. You’d think with the election of the ONE he would have made things better for you by now.

Let’s not forget that traitor Robert Novak, who blew the cover of a CIA agent. Her relationship with the CIA was CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.

Treason as well. She should wear an orange jumpsuit for the rest of his life, too.

Oh, and don’t say that the info Novak released wasn’t important, so he’s not a traitor. The info that Nozette *attempted* to release (but DIDN’T) can’t be very secret, as he no longer had top secret clearance.

If you’re gonna shoot traitors, shoot ‘em all.
