I said it before, I'll say it again, whether he realizes it or not, Fitzgerald is doing Al Qaeda's bidding by going after the individuals that have architected a policy that has made us all safer, and has liberated 40 million people.
Again, I would hope that if there is indictments, they are followed immediately by pardons so that these people can get back to work.
It's clear what this is by The New York Daily News: they're trying to bait Fitzgerald, claiming their "sources in the White House" are trashing him, hoping this will piss off Fitzgerald to get the indictments they want to see.
I wonder if THEY (Daily News, MSM, etc.) have suspicions now that the story they WANTED to tell might not be happening??
"Fitzgerald is doing Al Qaeda's bidding..."
BWAHAHAAHAAAHAAAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!
What matters to our country is that this minor legal probe not be turned into a rallying cry that the war in Iraq is illegitimate. Nothing could be further from the truth. Joe Wilson is an established liar and left wing kook who was used in a thankfully failed effort to undermine the war. But are republicans up to the task of explaining this to the American public? Probably not.
I cannot imagine W pardoning anyone on his own side.
Say it as many times as you want. That doesn't make it any more sensible. If someone on the WH staff committed indictable crimes and there is sufficient evidence to prove it, they should be thrown overboard. What their role may have been in anything else is irrelevant. As far as the President pardoning any such individual, the idea is absurd.
