Yes. If Bush has committed a felony, then he should be impeached and removed from office.

Edited to add:
You realize this means Cheney would be President. I could live with that.

I predict, however, that this will fail to gain traction politically or legally.

Unless it could be proved that Cheney is the one who leaked the story, along with the Plame case.... Who else has such a great motive?

So then we get Condi? I could probably live with that.

Well, no, first would be the Speaker of the House, then the President pro tempore of the Senate, and then Condi.

Check this out for a related anecdote.

Going back a large number of posts in this thread, I have a hard time believing a former spy(Mr. Frost) would go into such depths on what would be highly classified information on a national news program and not be in Fort Levenworth. He would have to get a lot of clearances from the many organizations to be able to appear and disclose such things, and they would only be disclosed by the approval of the organizations. I can't imagine they would approve of him disclosing those things. Once you are no longer a spy, your responsibility for safeguarding classified information does not stop. Sounds a lot like a smokescreen and scare tactics to me.

I'm not sure I follow you here. While I understand what you are saying regarding classified information, this was a story from back in 2000, prior to Bush becoming President.

So what was the smokescreen for? Who was the target of the scare tactics?

The NSA is a large unknown place, and thus scary. My take on the scare tactics is, fear is very good for ratings.... that is in my opinion the target of the scare.
