Why Do You Support Treason, Fred Thompson?

by
Brent Budowsky

Dear Fred Thompson. You are one of Amerca's strongest public supporters of Scooter Libby in the CIA Leak case and, as a potential commander in chief, there are some questions you should answer for the Nation:

If you are commander in chief, would you believe it is proper for your senior White House staff to publicly identify the names of covert officers?

As commander in chief, dont you feel a moral, military and patriotic obligation that is sacred to protect the lives and safety of those who serve under your command?

Dont you believe that public identification of covert officers threatens our troops and our security by harming our ability to wage war when necessary, by weakening our intelligence capability?

Regarding covert officers engaged in actions aimed to kill those planning terrorist attacks against Americans, are you on the side of our covert officers, or on the side of terrorists, who are aided and abetted by disclosure of the identities of covert officers working against them?
