One old LIE dies and you are happy to try and float another.
"Washington, DC – The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., announced today that former President Bill Clinton, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa are among the confirmed speakers for the upcoming NCLR Annual Conference which will be held July 8-11 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA."
Rove nor Libby are required by any law to contact any "news" source to explain their side to prevent libel, it's up to the "news" source to assure the information that they publish is 100% accurate.
My guess is that Fitzgerald will not dismiss the charges against Libby until after the November elections, and then it will be very quietly, more like letting a deadline pass, than actual dismissal of charges.
Translation for Hysteric Know Nothing speak.
"Whaaa I hate Bush. He is NOT doing ONLY what I want done. Whaaa"!
The left will be rushing to the bookstores for this one because they can't let a good lie die.
York didn't say why it was rushed..but, since it was supposed to come out in October, right before the elections...I am sure the publisher and the DEMS were hoping it would seal the fate for the GOP in NOV..
BUT, since it makes the LIBS look worse, they had to get it out early...so that all of the "backlash" will have gone away...
WELL...I have been watching Sheppy Smiths show for 35 minutes...(my first time to watch TV today)...and I haven't heard about this at all...it is all Katrina..
SOOOOOOOO..they bring it out now...and it gets LOST in Katrina, which is another subject that they can beat Bush up with...
You know, it strikes me that this whole Wilson case is just another fabrication from the Dan Rather "Inaccurate, but true" school of Journalism. The prosecutor in the case just kept on investigating, knowing that there was no crime, but also knowing that if he kept questioning people long enough, he would trip up someone and then be able to make an accusation of conspiracy against Cheney.
Isikoff responded to York. Here it is:

AUTHOR’S NOTE: A few hours after this story was posted, Isikoff responded with the following note:
I told [Rove lawyer Robert] Luskin I was working on a book late last year on all this and reminded him again in April at the time I was talking to him about Rove's last grand jury appearance as we went over— yet again — the Rove, Cooper and Novak issues that I was writing about for the magazine. (I have operated under the assumption that he and others didn't have a different version of the truth for a book than they do for the readers of Newsweek.) Mark [Corallo] was interviewed for the book last December (about a matter he dealt with at the Justice Department) and I spoke to him periodically over the next six months about matters relating to Rove. At one point, he even helped put me in touch with a source for the book. Barbara Comstock certainly knew I was working on a book for at least the last six months and I certainly spoke to her during that period. (The Libby lawyers have consistently no commented me and David, as they have everybody else.) Finally, Dan Bartlett was sent a lengthy email that included questions for the book relating to Rove unrelated to the leak case. He chose not to respond.
Actually with the exception of his stance on immigration, he's got my support 100%.
It seems like you're the hysterical one.
Thanks for the update & link.
Kind of like:
Reporter: "Mr. Rove, when did you stop beating your wife?"
Rove: "I will not dignify that with a response!"
Headline: "Rove will not deny beating wife."
A PAIR of top Bush officials.....POWELL/ARMITAGE!! Armitage did this with POWELL.,,,disgusting that they didn't come forward and stop the madness and the MILLIONS of dollars spent!!
The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column.
Fox News had better FIRE David Corn as a Contributor to their programs...he's a LIAR!! He was out there all this time saying that Cheney, Rove, Libby or BUSH leaked this when he KNEW it was Powell/Armitage!!!! FIRE HIS ASS!!
Byron was a lot easier to read today...yesterday some of it didn't click.
Hey Mikey....Why would ANYONE talk to you?? You LIE!! You LIED, 15 people DIED at your FAKE Koran story!! You have BLOOD on your dirty little hands, Mikey, and no decent people should EVER talk to you!!
You pinged me earlier looking for a source for my statement that Corn was the first person to raise the notion that the Bush administration outed Plame in order to smear her husband. The article by Byron York on this thread also fingers Corn.
Thanks man!
