Under the relevant law--the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982--a crime is committed when a government official (not a journalist) "intentionally discloses any information identifying" an undercover intelligence officer.

There is no evidence yet to suggest Rove knew she was an undercover intelligence officer. The inference the person who wrote this article attempts to get the readers to draw is a lie.

So Rove is is guilty of revealing something you can get from a google search?

Am i missing something, or is that about it?

Corn was one of the leftist commentators during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal who was consistently wrong about the applicable law. I seriously doubt he's become any better with his legal analytical skills.

She was not a covert operative. This "reporter" needs to get that through his thick skull.

Dave Corn's thong has been riding high lately, he's got a hair in his ass for anything Rove... and won't let go. Poor girl.

You could get a CIA agent's status from a google search?

"In order for Rove (or whoever the source was) to have broken the law, he would have to know and reveal that Plame was a covert operative for the CIA. The problem is that she wasn’t one anymore."


This would pretty much be like arresting any reporter who wrote a story where they revealed George HW Bush was a former head of the CIA.

Richard Simmons clucking in a chicken suit protesting at Col. Sanders, is more relevant than Corn..

This is the best the left can dig up along with the Guantanamo baloney? Talk about desperate. It is NOTHING. Negative, negative, negative. How about offering some sort of alternative plan? These idiots are going to lose a lot more elections.

Here's the thing. Brit Hume said tonight the word from the Rove camp is that Rove learned where Joe Wilson's wife worked because a reporter told him. To break the law, you specifically have to get that info from a classified sorce. My guess is that the through Fitgeralds investigation he has pinned either Miller or who told here as the leaker. But to get a solid inditement he needs her testimony either so she can perger herself and he can bust her ( which will cause her to comply )or she will give in and tell him who here sorce was. Either way Rove is in the clear as far as I can see.

And dont worry because its been a long time coming for this Wilson prick and I cant wait for the sequal 'The White House Strikes Back' Wilson is going down. I just have this gut feeling.
