What's So Good About Open Source Politics? Take a gander, or perhaps get goosed, here...

OPEN SOURCE POLITICS has exploded in readership this week. These entries have become must reads for the informed:

Robert Novak is a coward, The CIA's Patriotic Math, A Matter of Trust, I Have A Little List ... are all about The Valerie Plame Affair.

There's also the Ben Franklin True Patriot Act Action Alert, Pie In the Sky, The Politics of Power Barry's two-parter, Asbestos Legislation #1 and #2, and the Florida Political Breakdown.

It's all good.

TREASON!

Felonies of the Bush Administration
and Journalists in League
on theValerie Plume Affair

Along With Kleiman and Open Source Politics
Read what MediaWhoresOnline have to say - from their extensive coverage today. And don't miss seeing the graphic clips there:

"It was an embarrassing mistake when White House officials admitted that there was an inaccuracy in President Bush’s State of the Union address, but now, the fallout from that mistake could lead to criminal charges, CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston reports.

In his speech, Mr. Bush claimed that Iraq had attempted to purchase uranium, used to make weapons of mass destruction, from an African nation.

Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who was dispatched to investigate the charge before the State of the Union, revealed that he had warned the Bush administration that there was no evidence to support the claim.

That’s when Robert Novak, a syndicated newspaper columnist, reported that Wilson’s wife was a CIA operative."

"THE MOST INSIDIOUS OF TRAITORS"
JOURNALISTS, IN TANK, ACCOMPLICES TO HIGH CRIME

"One or more of seven prominent media star journalists face indictments today, possibly for treason, in the aftermath of their refusal to divulge the part they played in blowing the cover of a U.S. intelligence agent."

From Atrios: Via Eschaton:

Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors.

- George H.W. Bush, at the dedication of the George Bush Center for Intelligence.

"Wilsongate" or "Plumigate", it's time to smoke out the real terrorists in the US! Mark's article in OSP is the best clear and explanatory piece I've seen yet in the blogging world. Go Mark! While you are there, read Susie Madrak's article on "A Matter of Trust". Natalie calls it "The Worst Kind of Outing". N Todd Pritsky has some comments on "Traitorgate". Earl's all pissed off at Prometheus and Emma's all over the story with updates, leading one to notice the particular irony of her blog title.

A DAY TO REMEMBER, FOLKS!

Valerie Plume Who-Dunnit Article at OSP

Get thee to Open Source Politics pronto for a FAIR and BALANCED article explaining the Valerie Plume story that is explosive news FINALLY for the Bush Administration today! Even CNN is broadcasting this story as a top headline story today.

Mark A. R. Kleiman has a great article today that is drawing much attention - he's one of the original bloggers who went with the Plume story since July and stayed with it. His article at OSP is via this link:

On another note: the Antville blog has not been able to update posts since September 17! If anyone knows how to reach the admin of the Antville site, please ask them to get in touch with their blogger from http://resourcefull.antville.org at her care2.com address. Any help will be greatly appreciated! There are no email links on the site home to alert the admin, so this plea goes out on every route possible.

Meanwhile, back on other ranches, cobalt and moihehe are updating all websites and blogs to call attention to the Open Source Politics story by Kleiman. There are links updated at http://www.geocities.com/moihehe123 and at http://resourcefull.crimsonzine.com and http://resourcefull.crimsonblog.com BTW, the graphic clips at the geocities webhome (for Resource.full) are excellent and their sources are credited to http://www.cursor.org and other sites that are media-watchdogs.

Could it finally be that the Bush Administration will be exposed to ALL for the indescretions of cocky and mega-maniacal bureaucrats who embarrass US citizens every day, in every way?
