I haven't followed this all that closely, and I haven't read all the responses on this string, but here's a question.
Tonight I heard Wilson on Wolf Blitzer's show stating that his wife wasn't undercover when she was "outed." So where's the crime, where's the scandal, and why is this still being discussed, at least in relation to Rove?
It would seem that after this revalation, this whole thing should die. Where am I wrong?
You're not wrong. Once again, "Good Ole Mr. Wilson" screwed up. Mouth in motion before mind in gear.
Fact is that he states in his own book that she hadn't been a covert op for many years while they had their little twins.
The law is very specific. She had to be uncover/out of the country/signaled out for protection, etc.
Did not apply.
The prosecutor is looking into conspiracy, perjury, or obstruction. That's the guess of the insiders. Or he just wants to close the case. Who knows?
SO! They are backing away! Cheney should start a defamation lawsuit. Cheney could do it with personal funds. There is something called "discovery". And it's public. Cheney should follow through. $1M could get an army of investigators and a bench of lawyers.
