You need to read up on the law which you are accusing Rove of violating. (Somewhat like Howard Dean saying that Tom DeLay should go back to Texas to serve his jail term, when Tom Delay hasn't been indicted of a crime.)

Source?
Oh, nevermind. Just go away.

It's just based on keywords and I honestly don't know how long they stay there, so I bookmark them, but it does help to find them.

She was NOT a 'secret agent' she was a mid level pencil pushing analyst who drove her BMW to work at CIA HQ in Langley, Va EVERY DAY. Now be a good boy and go dag the hocket before I piss in your billabong

You like making yourself look like a total idiot in public, do you?

Even IF Rove "outed" old Valerie, which he didn't do, he committed NO "treason". Plame was NOT a "covert" operative, neither had she been one for well over five years ( the time limit, dear, go read what exactly is a crime! ),and she committed a crime, by sending her attention grasping husband on a trip he wasn't qualified to do and that's nepotism. It's also abject stupidity, but they're Dems. WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?

You know, if this thing wasn't being presented as the latest retro Bush-bash, folks would notice that the elephant in the room is federal government spouses not only working together, but sending each other on assignments. I thought this sort of incestuous behavior was frowned upon.

sadim is either a troll, or just someone who shouldn't be on FR. Read his personal page, he's an Aussie, a journalist ( or so he claims ) and get this...A PROUD MODERATE.

I think that I have bookmarked most of the threads about this, but I go see if I've missed any. I want this info, on hand, when it's proven that Rove didn't "out" Valerie. :-)

It is almost too much to hope for, isn't it?

Maybe it is.

Here's my story. Wilson wrote a book. He gave a pre-press sneak peek of the book to a few reporters.
A reporter on MSNBC or CNN did an on air book review, marveling at the yellow cake scam. According to the reporter, Wilson gives all the credit for the book to his wife, Valerie Plame.
The reporter goes on. As she's talking, she says Wilson claims his wife is an under agent for the CIA, but refuses to give her name.
About a week later, a "leak" has been discovered.
The first printing of the book is put on hold. Later, there's a new book with a new title that screams "victim."

But I could be wrong.
