He should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Do you mean Tamm, or the guy who wrote the Newsweek article... BOTH, maybe?

Seriously ... what does it take to prosicute somebody for treason? I believe we keep seeing examples of it, but nothing happens to the people who do it. Why can’t someone go to jail for this .. is has it changed to the point that there is no longer something such as TREASON ... just another “term from the past”. (Legal guys ... is there an answer?).

Thomas Tamm should be shot, and his corpse shown on the cover of Newsweek.

And what happened to the A-Hole who threw the shoe at Bush?

Well.....he's in the hospital with many broken bones (arms, ribs, etc.) and probably a little blood coming out of multiple orifices......

Our government was his client, and this jerk betrayed his client’s trust. Would the Left be so fond of him if he gave up secrets of a different client, for example, the Rosenbergs?

I would like to formally change my affiliation to liberal. Since I have access to all sorts of classified data, this change will allow me to:

1) Reveal anything I want, whenever I want.
2) Throw away my technical training and make judgements on raw emotion.
3) Develop an attitude of superiority - even though accomplishing step two removes any possibility of this attitude being realistic.
4) Be immune from any laws - voting, etc.

Gads, why have I not done this before?
