"The Criminalization of Politics" - Weapons of Mass Distraction

Well, we are just a few hours away from "kick-off" as Big Ed Shultz says. Soon the world will know who (if anyone) will be indicted for involvement in the treasonous act of revealing the identity of an undercover CIA operative to the "embedded" media. This was an act of retaliation against Joe Wilson, a man who stood up to the Bush administration in the run-up to the war in Iraq and spoke the truth about weapons of mass destruction.

On cue, the neo-con establishment is attempting to deflect attention from the real issue. This was a criminal act that has made America less safe! Valerie Plame-Wilson was involved in helping to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of America's enemies. Instead the right-wing talkers have begun to attack the prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald by asserting - unchallenged by many so-called news people - that he and his grand jury are engaging in the "criminalization of politics."

It is to Mr. Fitzgerald's credit that, in this era of leaks to the press for political gain, his grand jury has remained tight-lipped, leaving the rest of us to wonder and wait. A crime has been committed. Who will pay?
