A good start would be to subpoena the reporters and editors concerned and jail them until they reveal their sources.
The sources should be fired and tried for violating the oaths they took when they got their security clearances.
I doubt whether it's practicable to try anyone for treason at this point, but they can still lose their jobs and spend a few years in jail for breaking the law.
This article makes exactly the point I have been making. The entire press has been saying that people must be punished for the minor crime of leaking about Plame. Or perhaps no crime at all, since she was outed many years before, and didn't have the right job description to make it a crime to reveal it.
Now that a major crime has been committed, it should be punished. If the administration fails to do it, they will as good as say that they will not enforce our secrecy laws. These leakers are not stupid. They see repeatedly that they can get away with it without any consequences, so they will continue to do it.
For the sake of our country's security if not to protect the administration from more similar attacks, Bush must act. It is his duty to do so, and there has never been a better time.
Excellent thread #10. If action is not swift and the level of punishment is not enough to fit the crime we will have lost the war on leaks. These leaks are probably the most grievous act a traitor could do.
Incidently the Phame incident was bogus to start with and what an injustice to the American justice system.
Part of the problem there is that the liberals have been allowed to define everything out of the word treason. Just try to get a liberal to define what is treason without defining it as Bush/Cheney.

I listened very closely to Fox over the holiday to see who, if anyone, focused on the leak rather than the spying. I found little if any until this morning's re-run of Cavuto. And it wasn't even Cavuto, it was the British man who sits in for him and he pretty much blasted off with the same case as you have!
The tide needs to turn on this IMMEDIATELY. The focus must be taken off of the 'spying' and put on to finding out who committed the real crime, leaking of national security information to the press. THAT should be the story. We need to demand that something be done.
