Treason

Just a quick thought in anticipation of the indictments coming out tomorrow in the Affaire de Plame. Prosecutor Pat Fitzgerald is known as being quite dogged in his pursuit of evildoers and quite brilliant as well. He has the permission he needs to broaden his scope, to include perjury as well as underlying wrongdoing for example.

My question is this: will he indict for treason? Because he's been going after the Iraq Working Group - the White House cabal that cooked up the lies that led to the Iraq invasion. Surely, fabricating falsehoods that send America into an unjust aggressive invasion is treasonous.

If Fitzy got into that committee, if he got a whiff of what they cooked, couldn't he go after them for the whole thing?

After all, the Plame thing happened because the Junta wanted Joe Wilson punished. Wilson needed to go down because he was exposing their falsehoods very publicly. It was those falsehoods - especially the uranium lie - that brought us to this terrible conflict.

How far did he follow that road?

Wait and see.
