What's wrong with our media?
Last week Newsweek broke the story about who 'outed' Valerie Plame..

For those of you who don't know, Val Plame was a CIA operative whose identity was compromised strictly for political payback against her husband, Joe Wilson.

Knowingly revealing the identity of an undercover operative is considered a treasonous act under federal law, and George H.W. Bush (41) has previous decried it as one of the most heinous acts a person could do.

So it looks like Dubya's bestest buddy, the one who was personally responsible for orchestrating the big win last year, is the loud mouth who committed an act of treason.

And where has our media been on reporting this?

A top aide to the president of the United States committed an act of treason, jeopardized an intelligence asset and compromised her network at a time when we need the best possible foreign intelligence, and no one is reporting it.

If this had happened in the Clinton Whitehouse there'd be a GOP lynch-mob standing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue calling for Rove's head right now.

The silence is deafening. Overwhelming really.

I'm stunned.
