Sorry, Ben, you can't hang the President for that.

Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher had Mr Affleck (widely known for his political perspicacity) trying very hard to be the smartest man on the panel. This met with as much success as Gigli.

Bill Sammon, Washington Examiner: "A lot of critics are conflating the two and are saying that because Bush disclosed this piece of information, they're implying that Bush leaked the name."
Ben Affleck: "He probably also leaked the name. There's just no proof of that."
Sammon: "Even the prosecutor, even Fitzgerald is saying Bush didn't leak the name. So let's be clear, Bush didn't leak Valerie Plame's name -- not that we know of."
Affleck: "Because if he did, you can be hung for that! That's treason!"
Bill Maher: "That is treason."
Affleck: "You could be killed. That's not a joking around Tom DeLay 'I'll do a year, I bribed the state officials with corporate money.' That's like they shoot you in the battlefield for doing that. Don't you think we should find out who leaked that name?"

Newsbusters carries the story and video.

If you don't want to subject yourself to that, I invite you to talk to the Autorantic Moonbat about Bush. Its not entirely dissimilar in content or coherency.
