heh, Whodoe! I found this: http://www.opednews.com/articles/ope...spin_cycle.htm

The GOP-bought disinformation spin machine is in hyperdrive right now over the Valerie Plame Treasongate so it is crucial that we all keep focused and remember the salient points, lest we get confused with the smoke and mirrors being brought out to distract and confound.

These are the facts.

1) Under section 421 of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, the disclosure of “ANY INFORMATION identifying a covert agent” is illegal.

2) In the released Cooper email, it is quite clear that Karl Rove stated that Joseph Wilson’s wife was an agent working for the CIA on WMD.

The rest of the garbage you are hearing is nothing but window dressing to distract you from these two facts. Once you put these two facts together, you can reach only one conclusion and that is that Karl Rove is a traitor to this country and he needs to be prosecuted for treason against the Untied States of America. Period, end of story. What is convenient about these two facts is that you can summarize them simply and apply them as an answer to any spin you might hear. To summarize:

Karl Rove committed treason against the United States of America by violating section 421 of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, by revealing the secret identity of a covert operative to a reporter.

Now to the spin:

Spin-Cycle # 1 – Valerie Plame was not covert.
Read the article. I can't post it all here. Fall on your sword, "TurdBlossom" Rove!
