1 Lone Star

I, like a lot of people in the USA, are paying attention to the left-wing attempt to make a scandal of Karl Rove's confirming the identity of a CIA employee who was critical of the Bush administration's claims that Saddam Hussein sought yellow cake uranium from Niger and elsewhere in West Africa before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq.  I will be very succinct as to why there is no case, which most of the "mainstream" U.S. media have neglected to tell.  First, the operative was not a covert operative, had not been for five years.  Under the law, that is a complete defense.  Second, she already had her identity disclosed by the media, especially Vanity Fair magazine, before the article by Robert Novak in the Chicago Sun-Times came out in June 2003, and before Rove even mentioned to a reporter that "Joseph Wilson's wife" (her husband and ex-diplomat at issue) had suggested that he, Wilson, go to Africa.  Third, Rove never gave her name.  Fourth, Rove testified that he reported all this and all other matters to a federal grand jury.  All these make for a complete defense under the law.  Game, set, match.  So why is the Left (Democratic party and their friends around the world) screaming?  Truth doesn't mean a thing, not to them.  No fear of God, no fear of character, of reputation, of consequences.  Just destroy George Bush.

Once again:  Bush did not lie about the war, none of his administration did.  They have done nothing wrong.  But his enemies have done all of the above.  It will come back on them, trust me.

Later.
