Anything you see from them at this point is conjecture. A simple reading of the statute in question would infer that, since Plame had not been covert for over five years, no crime could have been committed, along with other complicating factors. But we'll have to wait and see what comes from Fitzgerald.
I have felt there has been better analysis on Free Republic and it seemed to make sense, but the conventional MSM wisdom seems to be universal among those pundits who know they will look like assholes if they are as wrong as we here on FR think they are.
I have come to the conclusion that they don't care, because they play to a left-wing audience that is already the biggest bunch of a-holes on the planet.
So,....are they? And Why?
Because they cannot retain their political worldviews and simultaneously deal with the truth.
I have arrived about the same place you are. But my question is this. Let's you and me assume we are correct, and Couric,Matthews,et.al., are wrong and Fitzgerald does not indict Rove or Libby. They know they will appear to be stupid, illinformed, idiots to their base. We already know what they are, even if they are correct in their analysis, history has born that out. But, if they are wrong, and they have spent hours in conjecture on the airwaves about Rove and Libby, they will look like absolute idiots. I do think they care about that, don't you. I have not heard one person in the MSM cadre expound on the possibility of a Wilson, Plame, Miller, Russert, indictment, but it is repleat here on FR. Are we thinking wishfully do you think?
