Merry Fitzmas, Moonbats! Frankly I can't believe even Libby was charged on perjury (a rather hard-to-prove charge unless the defendant was completely incompetent), though I think he was trying to cover up his torrid extramarital relationship with that NYT reporter, and that, more than anything, got his arse in the sling. No tears for Libby.
But the idea that Rove would be "caught" "leaking" and then lying about it was always far-fetched, no matter how badly his political enemies wanted some grounds, ANY grounds, to knock him out of the game. First of all, what "leak"? It has yet to be determined (and will likely be found untrue) that she was even truly a "covered" agent, let alone that her "outting" really met the fairly stringent statutory requirements for being considered such. In reality, she was in a desk job at Langley for the last 5 years, and the selection of her flamboyant husband (who had no problem outting her himself any other time) as the guy to go have tea with the president of Niger to dispell any truth to the yellowcake argument was a classic CIA operation to set up precisely the situation that followed. It's funny how harsh, personal criticism of the President is OK, but general criticism and demystification of "humble public servant" Joe Wilson and his political motives (obvious to anyone with a functional medulla oblongata) was considered bad. All the administration did was point out how peculiar it was that this guy's wife (a CIA employee) recommended him for the job, though he claimed to have been selected differently. I think this was an obvious covert operation designed to set up a leak/perjury scandal. It was bogus from the get go, more the result of political in-fighting at CIA, which has been pretty messed up for years because of politics, than any actual internal debate about the merits of the WMD charges. They long ago forgot how to collect actionable intelligence (witness George Tenet's "slam dunk" over Iraq WMD intelligence), and instead got good at orchestrating political intrigue---like this whole bogus "scandal" over a desk jockey's supposedly top secret identity. - Bob ! -----Original Message----- !
