Rove was the source of the Plame leak... so it appears

Rove/ plame is finally on Yahoo homepage! Third item.

For those of us old enough to recall the Nixon era, things are starting to seem eerily familiar: An arrogant administration, an unpopular war, and a slowly building series of questions from the press that can't be brushed aside.

Nixon, too, looked invincible for a while...

Blatham.......you really know how to bring the Rove haters out of the woodwork.........go on and have a really good "Chortle"..... maybe some of you will choke on your coffee.........OH......I AM sorry if I don't seem to show any sympathy for a "LIB".

Don't be too disapointed if Bob Woodward and his ilk have difficulty in really connecting Rove with the leak...........in other words don't count your jail sentences before they materialize


Note......I may be forced to burn this post at some future date.

It's sounding like a well planned conspiracy at this point.

Rove reveals Wilson's wife works at the CIA and planned the trip but doesn't name her or say what she does.

Libby or someone else reveals that an undercover CIA agent, not named, planned the trip

and then a third person names Plame as Wilson's wife

They don't even need a third person. It doesn't seem like it would be difficult for any random person -- the journalists themselves, for example -- to figure out who Wilson's wife is.

As in, if it's been established that a) whomever planned the trip is a CIA operative and b) Wilson's wife planned the trip, c) follows -- Wilson's wife is a CIA operative. Just a matter of finding out who he's married to. Not that hard.

So, there we have the two senior administration officials. Makes sense to me. Not saying it happened, saying it makes sense. We'll see.

It seems the translation from todays press conference is...

We will comment on it as long as we can deny it. If we can't deny it and sound believable then we won't comment.

where did rayban go?

<< Laughing at the image of half of Washington, D.C. parading through the courtroom to testify they knew where Plame worked LOL!

Laughing at the image of someone who would think a prosecutor would be so stupid to have Grand Jury investigate something that is not even a POTENTIAL crime LOL

Mebbe a clue HERE

Q All right. Let me just follow up. You said this morning, "The President knows" that Karl Rove wasn't involved. How does he know that?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I've made it very clear that it was a ridiculous suggestion in the first place. I saw some comments this morning from the person who made that suggestion, backing away from that. And I said it is simply not true. So, I mean, it's public knowledge. I've said that it's not true. And I have spoken with Karl Rove --. . . I'm not going to get into conversations that the President has with advisors or staff or anything of that nature; that's not my practice.

Q . . . I'm not asking what you said, I'm asking if the President has a factual basis for saying -- for your statement that he knows Karl Rove --

MR. McCLELLAN: He's aware of what I've said, that there is simply no truth to that suggestion. And I have spoken with Karl about it.

Andrea Mitchell was asked on MSNBC if people generally knew that Valerie Plame was an operative for the CIA. She answered, a bit uncomfortably, that yes, in general, most people knew that.
