"if there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of...If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action." http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/09/20030930-9.html i'm not aware fitzgerald has returned an indictment against rove, nor have i heard of a trial or conviction, except in the court of moveon opinion. do you have different info that would contradict Bush's statement above?
Basso, how do you feel about the possibility of Karl Rove having blown the cover of a CIA operative out of spite? Would you consider this action treasonous?
basso is too busy with his magnifying glass, splitting hairs, to worry about treason close to the President. It would be good for basso to consider, while he's doing his hair splitting, that the outing of a CIA covert operative endangers those who had contact with that operative in the past, overseas. While worrying about whether five years, or ten years, or ten months have passed since an active covert role, consider the worry of those who worked with her before her cover was blown... those who worked with her years ago and are now exposed. Keep D&D Civil!!
Just to clarify: Is anyone in here suggesting that if Wilson lied, it somehow excuses or explain's Rove's actions?
