KISS

Let us all remember this, so well put by tristero over at Digby's site. It's really is this simple, no matter what other bullshit the right tries to do with Plamegate:

This case, like Simpson's, is very simple, if perhaps difficult to legally prove. A CIA agent was deliberately exposed by people who had sworn never to do so. That has the potential to undermine the safety and intelligence gathering capability of the US. By exposing a CIA agent, they have aided this country's enemies. That is a betrayal of country, in a word: Treason.
