Rove – Still A Case on this Blog!

Ok we now know who the Supreme Court nominee is. That means
it is time to shift focus back to the big scandal. I am of course talking about
Karl Rove.
The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that the State
Department memo which identified Plame seems to be one of the key pieces of
evidence in the grand jury inquiry. The memo was marked classified, and the line
where Plame was identified was even marked with “this information is not to be
sharedâ€ÂÂ. That means Rove and Libby both should not have talked about it with
reporters.
I am kind of upset with certain people on the left with
regards to this issue. They think Judith Miller should not be in jail. I
disagree. If Judith Miller was protecting a “whistle blower†then I would be up
in arms over her jailing. The fact is, she is not protecting a “whistle blowerâ€ÂÂ,
but instead she is in jail because she is protecting a possible criminal. Judge
Tatel, who is a federal appeals judge that ruled Cooper and Miller were to turn
over their notes, even said “were the leak at issue in this case less harmful to
national security or more vital to public debate.”. He agrees that if this were
a whistle blower trying to uncover some wrong doing, then their sources could in
fact be protected.
If the defense had any merit at all, then they would not be
going on a witch hunt or smear campaign against Joe Wilson. They know that
people in the White House did something wrong. Instead of admitting fault, they
attack the victim. This is the same way as a rapist tries to defend himself by
saying “she asked for itâ€ÂÂ.
The worst argument the right is giving is that Wilson was
not undercover, there for no law has been broken. We are two years into a
federal grand jury. It has cost us millions. Courts, all the way up to the
Supreme Court have weighed in on this case. The first thing Patrick Fitzgerald
did was make sure that the information leaked was in fact classified. The State
Department Memo being marked as classified proves that. Now the job of the
prosecutor is to sell the crime to the grand jury in order to get an indictment.
There are more laws that were possibly violated than the one the media is giving
its attention to.
This case is far from over, and we can not let the Supreme
Court nominee draw attention from it. A traitor in the White House is very
serious and needs addressed. I will continue my own efforts to get the truth out
about the Rove/Plame scandal.
