Larry Johnson who was in the same intake class at the CIA as Valerie Plame was states clearly - yes. She was a covert asset of the CIA until Robert Novak outed her at the bequest of Karl Rove and several other White House political hacks. Larry Johnson writes about the damage Rove et. al. did to the defense of America at TPM Cafe.
Did Novak know that she was a covert asset of the CIA? Here is Josh Marshall putting together the facts. Conclusion? Both Novak and Rove knew that she was a covert CIA asset - and they didn't give a damned about the damage they were doing to the Country.
Remember that the only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution is treason. It is definde in Article III, Section III which states "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.". Do I think that Novak and Rove have committed treason to America?
Yeah. I do.
Extreme? This administration is extreme, and it is going to take extreme measures to defend America against Bush/Cheney/Rove and their fellow travelers like Novak.
