I say give Karl Rove (search) a medal, even if Bush has to fire him.
Why? Because Valerie Plame (search) should have been outed by somebody. And if nobody else had the cojones to do it, I'm glad Rove did — if he did do it, and he still says he didn't.
Why should she have been outed? Well despite her husband's repeated denials, even in the face of a pile of evidence and conclusions from a Senate investigation, it appears all evidence points to Joe Wilson's wife, spy Valerie Plame, as the one who recommended him for the job of going to Niger to discover is Saddam was trying to buy nuke bomb materials.
Why is this important? Because Wilson was opposed to the war in Iraq, opposed to Bush policy, and pointedly and loudly said so.
Consequently, it was of some interest how he got chosen for this sensitive job which people at the time might have thought would be a fulcrum point for a decision about the war.
You wouldn't send a peacenik to see if we should go to war, if we need to go to war, now would you? Well, turns out the wife did it.

But But...thats O'Reilly's spot!
who is that?
"Luskin said of Cooper. "If you read what Karl said to him and read how Cooper characterizes it in the article, he really spins it in a pretty ugly fashion to make it seem like people in the White House were affirmatively reaching out to reporters to try to get them to report negative information about Plame."
Cooper Burned Rove.
Oh wow! What a Senator he would make!
I love Gibson's "My Word."
I would love to see his responses!
You know O'Reilly!
The guy with the number one cable newscast in America!
Valeri Plame had not been a covert agent since it was discovered that Aldrich Ames had given her name to the Soviets. She was outed then and recalled to Washington.
--- I'd like to see what happens with the investigation, whether any laws were broken and if so by whom. ---
I kinda wish the MSM would cover the Sandy Burger theft of documents from the national archive with just 10% of the interest they are putting into this story.
What are DUmmies doing watching FOX anyway? They love any excuse to get their panties in a bunch. Pansy's.
This has been one of the main items bugging me about this whole thing: IF Valerie Plame did recommend her husband for this job, then where did she get the idea? Did she dream it up herself? Or, did someone put her up to it? This is what should be the central point of the investigation...
Good point. Either way, the Dems are like sharks that smell blood in the water. This will get worse before it gets better. Rove, I hope, will stand firm.
If Rove actually did something wrong, why would he release the reporter from his confidentiality so they guy wouldn't have to go to jail??? If Rove was interested in hiding something he would have let the reporter go to jail. Obviously Rove had nothing to hide.
And if an agent is trying to keep a low profile, sending her (unqualified) husband on a high profile mission is probably not a great way to achieve that.
He's exactly right. Wilson's already been proven to be a liar, a Democratic partisan to the extreme and an apologist for the former regime in Iraq. His wife used the Central Intelligence Agency as a staging ground for partisan politcal attacks during a time of war.
Plame should be sharing a cell with Moussaoui as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure they'd get along famously.
So right! Can you see HIM as majority leader? LOL
Cooper is Live on Fox now yapping about something.
Has that article been posted here, yet? That really needs some publicity. Is that what people were talking about when they said that Kerry had outed a CIA agent on the floor of the Senate last week?
He does call 'em like he sees 'em.
I just called CIA HQ in Langly and asked to speak to 'Joe Wilson's whore' and the operator hung up on me LMAO
