If anything, Rove outed traitors

Horowitz put it as concisely as it gets:

«Her husband, Joseph Wilson, went off to Niger, did no investigation and came back and lied about what he had allegedly discovered. The bi-partisan 9/11 commission concluded that Wilson’s claims were false – a year and half after the damage the Plame-Wilson team intended was already done.

Immediately the Democratic Party leadership jumped on the President calling him a liar and a fraud using the 16 words in the January 2003 State of the Union address about Niger as evidence.

It emboldened our terrorist enemies, and sowed distrust in Europe and throughout the world about American policies, continued for more than six months with of course the megaphone provided by the NY Times and other Bush-hating and America bashing media institutions.

Joseph Wilson threw fuel on the fire by falsely claiming that Vice President Cheney had sent him and not his treacherous anti-Bush wife in her attempt to protect Saddam Hussein and his monster regime.»

Patriots... Love their country.... support the troops... blah blah blah... the usual tripe is dished out by Plame and Wilson's defenders who pretend that they're trying to get Rove fired, possibly take down down a presidency because they "love their country"... As if even THEY buy it...
The Boston Globe's Joel Mowbray adds:

«But the Left's entire rationale for the "Fire Rove" tidal wave is that revealing Valerie Plame's status as a CIA employee was nothing more than a "shameful," "despicable," and "disturbing" act of "retaliation," "retribution," or "revenge." If they admitted that Wilson layered lies upon lies, then logic dictates that Rove did no more than encourage a reporter not to be hoodwinked.
...
Even if you give Wilson the benefit of the doubt on that count, though, the career diplomat still has not been on speaking terms with the truth.
...
He was outed not by Rove, the White House, or some right-wing outfit, but by the bipartisan Senate Select Intelligence Committee.»

Yeah right! Keep working it, Mr. and Mrs. Poser.
