It also has to be proven that there was malicious intent to do harm for it to rise to a criminal act. Not a chance!!
What will the charges be?
No idea...didn't listen. What difference does it make?
Please keep in mind that this article is reporting how other journalists reported as if it were the gospel truth - rumor mongering at its best. Let's get the facts, then decide. The reporters have already tried and convicted Rove on no evidence. Heck, to them he's an effigy of President Bush!
Methinks yous is right, methinks it is a knave named Wilson who dropped ye old dime on Ms. Plame.
...I seriously doubt K. Rove would lie, not like this. He doesn't strike me as the duplicitous type
Does the Washington Post pass the smell test? Only with the Dimocrats in Congress.
The Washington post wants to talk about smell?
I agree with you, mosquitobite. I don't think the public at large will care (although the MSM will try very hard to make it care.) I do think, though, that it could cause problems for Rove himself, even if only because of the major distraction it will be. Plus they'll be getting testimony from Bush and other key officials. This could still be a mess.
Maybe, maybe not. But I can assure you, nobody cares about Valery Plame except the MSM. Despite her MSM description, she's old, not hot, and most people who know anything about this case at all think that SHE's the one whose bragging about her supposed covert activities brought this idiocy on. She and her hubby are considered people who don't know how to keep their mouths shut. Wonder what Val's actual clearance level was? Bet it wasn't much. With a hubby like that, it couldn't be.
On the other hand, I know of a LOT of people who know about the recent Supreme Court eminent domain issue, who are absolutely infuriated and quite vocal about it.
Novak has promised to write an article revealing his source. It'll be interesting to see what he has to say.
The BIG story here is not that Plame was revealed by Rove, the story is that SHE was the one who sent HER HUSBAND to Nigeria to have tea and scones and claim that to be an 'investigation' into yellow cake Uranium.
She deserves to be fired for deliberately undermining the administration.
I agree with everything you wrote in that post!
I agree with you. Karl Rove is waaaay to smart anyway to do something like this. It will come out and the attackers will be made asses of again. :)
This article is an interesting synopsis of other writers in the last pages.
Cooper's last minute story turns out to be an exaggeration - he had the same waiver from Rove as he had before. So, maybe he's trying to save face, or he plans only to talk about Rove. Could go back to the clink if he tries that.
Exactly. Those who hate Rove will continue to do so, and those of us who like him will continue to be supportive of him.
Re#42 Perjury and/or obstruction of justice. The US Attorney has known who the 'leaker' is for a long time. Nonetheless, he is trying to get presstitutes under oath. This strikes me as either (1) building an existing case or (2) setting a perjury trap. That the media is taking the "Rove implicated" mantra and running so hard with it strikes me as a distraction. We'll see...
The author is one ugly Bush-hater.
Take out the words ONE and BUSH HATER...Whatcha got left???
Rove is too smart to commit perjury.
Yes, but this whole issue strikes at the core of something very significant
