Does This Constitute Treason?

In the New York Times today, there is a piece on Rove and Libby's role not only in the Plame case but also with regard to George Tenet's remarks when he was head of the CIA. Here, buried in the body of the text, is the most chilling text:

The effort was striking because to an unusual degree, the circle of officials involved included those from the White House's political and national security operations, which are often separately run. Both arms were drawn into the effort to defend the administration during the period.

Got that? They were not combining efforts to defend the country, mind you, but the administration, during a time of war.

The diehard Republican fantasists who still defend these motherfuckers are hopeless. Are you Bush-lickers still ready to go to the mat for this corrupt and stupid, stupid, stupid administration? Because they'd sell your ass out in a second to maintain power or to avoid the ugly truth. This administration is more dangerous to our security than any external threat. Get 'em out, indict, convict, imprision, and let's get some national leadership that actually cares about real national security above all else.
