There is no evidence that a crime was committed by anyone in the administration. These highly partisan journalists tried to create a scandal, and now its blowing up in their faces. LOL These a**holes deserve everything that's happening to them. They were the ones committing crimes.

The liberal media wants it both ways. They hammered the Administration for the Plame identity leak as a crime. It is arguable, there were some here who took that position. It really wasn't a crime though. To protect some liberal journalists are being hurt, liberal media would have to admit that they were wrong. But that's not how these rascals operate. They weasel out of the responsibility to be consistent.

Similar to the WMDs in Iraq and al Qaqaa. They simultaneously want to hammer W for invading Iraq when there were absolutely zero WMDs, and hammer him for letting these dangerous munitions be "looted."

Novak revealed Plame's identity as a covert CIA operative. His sources seem to have committed a crime. That's why there's an investigation.

It may be that things are not what they seem to be; that Plame was not actually covert, that her identity was already well-known, that those who revealed her identity did so unwittingly or were tricked, etc. That's why due process is so important.

Freedom of the press is perhaps our most important freedom - public exposure is a terrific deterent to crime - and protecting sources is an essential part of that freedom.

The reporters are being prosecuted for protecting that freedom on the grounds that protecting sources cannot be used to shield criminals (ironic, don't you think, since you claim no crime has been committed). That in itself is wrong but it becomes a travesty when Novak is not one of them.

That your short-sighted, partisan sympathies render you incapable of seeing this makes me hold you in utter contempt. In this matter you are a true thug, a member of the mob, a Nazi.
