I wonder if liar Joe Wilson can be prosecuted?
All the liars should be prosecuted. They are messing with our national security.
IANAL but I'd think that his sworn testimony to the 9-11 commission circus and the Senate Intelligence Committee should be sufficient grounds for a perjury prosecution.
Here is something I noticed from David Corn's defense of Wilson in The Nation, 7/16/04:

"What Wilson told his CIA contacts, what he told reporters, what he said in public--accurate or not--did not justify disclosing Valerie Wilson's identity. Nor did it justify the subsequent White House effort to encourage other reporters to pursue the Valerie Wilson story. The leak was thuggish and possibly felonious. And the Wilsons and others are waiting to see what comes from Fitzgerald's investigation. (NBC News reported recently that the probe had expanded to examine possible acts of perjury and lying to investigators.) There is no telling if the investigation will end with indictments or whitewashing. It has been a mostly leak-free probe, and even senior people at the Justice Department say they have no idea where Fitzgerald is heading--if anywhere."
Hopefully the expansion of the investigation into lying and perjury means the FBI is pursuing Wilson, but I think that's just wishful thinking.
I think Wilson should be prosecuted for TREASON. He intentionally aided and abetted the enemy in a time of war. Perjury isn't good enough.
He should be tried for treason and, if found guilty, executed.
