People forget that sometimes federal investigations DO end without indictments! There is no evidence of crimes committed here, by Karl Rove or anyone else.
The one thing that still POs me about the reporting on this is that the MSM continue to call Valerie Plame a CIA "agent." They know full well that in the minds of their readers and viewers, the word "agent" conjures up the image of a U.S. spy undercover in some dangerous part of the world, not an analyst with a cushy desk job at Langley which is what Plame is. People who know no better are going to be agitated at the thought of anyone in the White House leaking the name of a real spy who could have been killed as a result. They could not care less about leaking the name of a garden-variety CIA desk analyst, especially one who couldn't wait to appear in Vanity Fair and whose career hardly seems to have suffered as a result of the revelation. The MSM very deliberately using language to try to drum up public outrage where none is deserved.
Next we'll be treated to the results of an ABC/Moveon.org opinion poll...
The MSM is a tool of the Democrat Party! But I repeat myself...
What everyone conviently forgets is that Wilson's Niger story was a setup. It was undertaken by Plame and Wilson to discredit the president. Wilson's yellowcake story was proven conclusively to be an outright fabrication.
Yet we're still supposed to believe that Rove's the bad guy here? Really.
