FoxNEWS: Treason should be rewarded

FoxNEWS may have just crossed the line. John Gibson, in his My Word column writes:

"I say give Karl Rove a medal, even if Bush has to fire him.

Why should she have been outed? Well despite her husband's repeated denials, even in the face of a pile of evidence and conclusions from a Senate investigation, it appears all evidence points to Joe Wilson's wife, spy Valerie Plame, as the one who recommended him for the job of going to Niger to discover is Saddam was trying to buy nuke bomb materials."

Conclusion: it is ok to compromise national security in the interest of "setting the record straight" about who authorized an Ambassador to go on a thankless mission to Africa. It is worth giving on up any intelligence this CIA operative would have yielded, in a time of war no less, in order to discredit a diplomat for doing his job. And what about the hundreds of contacts whose lives are now in jeopardy?

Please send an email to John Gibson at myword@foxnews.com. This is truly shocking.

Josh Marshall nails it:

"Now we can see in full view what we've seen again and again in recent years, the favored tactic: terror by grand moral inversion, the lie so total and audacious that it almost knocks opponents off their feet.

"John Kerry decorated war hero? No, coward and showboat. "
