Fair is fair.

If I'm going to call the DNC Blog's Jesse Berney out when I think he's wrong, fairness dictates that I give him credit when he's absolutely right
But let's make one thing perfectly clear: Rove's secret outing of Valerie Plame put partisan politics above the security of our nation. He chose to reveal Plame's identity as a CIA agent, with no thought to the consequences to American national security, simply because it provided an opportunity to smear her husband.
Bravo! That's exactly the message I want coming out of the Democratic Party today, and it's a message that should be extended to the recognition that by his betrayal of our national security for base reasons, Rove has enrolled himself in that category of domestic enemies that George W. Bush is sworn to protect us against.

There was a vicious Bircher tract in wide circulation some years back titled "None Dare Call It Treason." Whatever its virtues - or lack thereof - its title still rings true, at least as far as the SCLM and most mainstream pols are concerned. But there's no word but treason for Rove's disregard for our national security while operating from the top levels of our government is, and none other for his continued employment by George W. Bush.
