Calling a Traitor a Traitor and being done with it.

In time of war, an American has given the name of a undercover CIA agent of the United States to the media.  An agent of that media Novak has then published that name blowing the cover of one of the CIA's covert front companies and potentially blowing the cover of all who worked there, visited there or previosly worked with those who worked their.  

This is a direct action against the CIA in time of war.  The name of an undercover agent tasked with keeping the worst weapons out of the hands of Bin Laden has been betrayed by a member of the administration of the President of the United States.  Is this Bush, Rove and Novak's idea of a war on terrorism?

As anyone familiar with espionage of any form will tell you any single piece of information that is known to be true will lead to many other pieces of information, hence the legitimiate obsession with secrecy held by all intelligence agencies.  Bin Laden and others who seek to hurt the USA now, thanks to Novak, have a confirmed piece of information regarding the CIA's effort to protect you from real WMDs.

Here is Novak's quote first published in Oct 1, 2003.

"Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction. Two senior administration officials told me Wilson's wife suggested sending him to Niger to investigate the Italian report. The CIA says its counter-proliferation officials selected Wilson and asked his wife to contact him. "I will not answer any question about my wife," Wilson told me."

Am I the only one who believes Novak is a traitor?  Am I the only one who thinks delivering an undercover agent's identity to the enemies of America is a crime?  Because intentionally or unintentionally that is exactly what Novak did, I personally lean towards it being intentional as I am pretty sure he knew a lot of people read his column.

Am I the only one who realizes that delivering the identity of one person delivers the identities of all the people they work with and allows the enemies of America to discover still move undercover members of the CIA?  Is it Novak's belief that none of  Plume's co-workers at the CIA do anything secret?  

Am I the only one who realizes that Novak is not in jail because he didn't keep the CIA's secret while Judith Miller is in jail because she did keep the CIA's secret.  Am I the only one who believes Karl Rove who started this mess according to Matthew Cooper's testimony should be the one in jail?  Am I also the only who believes that common knowledge among journalists or not giving the name of a covert agent of the CIA to the enemies of America is still treason and as such Novak too belongs in jail?

Unless George Bush Jr. acts to stop the traitors in his mist I believe a serious effort to impeach is in order under the treason portion of Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution,

"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
