Meaning of 'is' . . .
IS Karl Rove, George W. Bush's political pit bull, involved in the outing of a CIA agent, as an act of political punishment of a dissenter?
If so, IS President Bush going to follow through on his promise and fire Rove, "the architect" (Bush's term) of his presidential campaign?
I suppose it all depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

. . . traiter as adviser
President George H.W. Bush said those who reveal the name of covert CIA sources are "the most insidious of traitors." His son President George W. Bush promised to investigate and fire anyone responsible when reports of Valerie Plame's identity leak first surfaced. Karl Rove's lawyer has now acknowledged that Rove disclosed Plame's employment with the CIA to at least one reporter before her identification in the press.
Rove's action was not only illegal, it was immoral and unethical as a deliberate attempt to silence criticism of the administration by her husband Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Rove has once again proved himself to be without dignity, honor or respect for our national security.
Until Bush fires Rove, we have a traitor in the White House functioning as the top political adviser to "the leader of the Free World." Will Bush do as he promised or once again blatantly lie to the American people?
