You greatly underestimate Rove's role in the current administration.

No I understand how the administration works and how politics work. I am not some liberal wack job who focuses too much energy on just one person not wanting to admit that they were getting beat before Karl Rove and will continue to get beat long after Karl Rove.

Of course these same wack jobs put too much emphasis on guys like Newt Gengrich and Rush Limbaugh. Anything to avoid aknowledging their failed ideology.

These days they focus on Tom Delay, Karl Rove and Fox news.

The e-mail characterizing the conversation continues: "not only the genesis of the trip is flawed an[d] suspect but so is the report. he [Rove] implied strongly there's still plenty to implicate iraqi interest in acquiring uranium fro[m] Niger ... "

Nothing in the Cooper e-mail suggests that Rove used Plame's name or knew she was a covert operative . Nonetheless, it is significant that Rove was speaking to Cooper before Novak's column appeared; in other words, before Plame's identity had been published. Fitzgerald has been looking for evidence that Rove spoke to other reporters as well. "Karl Rove has shared with Fitzgerald all the information he has about any potentially relevant contacts he has had with any reporters, including Matt Cooper," Luskin told NEWSWEEK.

A source close to Rove, who declined to be identified because he did not wish to run afoul of the prosecutor or government investigators, added that there was "absolutely no inconsistency" between Cooper's e-mail and what Rove has testified to during his three grand-jury appearances in the case. "A fair reading of the e-mail makes clear that the information conveyed was not part of an organized effort to disclose Plame's identity, but was an effort to discourage Time from publishing things that turned out to be false," the source said, referring to claims in circulation at the time that Cheney and high-level CIA officials arranged for Wilson's trip to Africa.

Karl has nothing to worry about. Once again, we see the truth twisted/omitted by the seminar democratic lefty operatives who work this board to undermine the President of the United States.

You're right. He just said Wilson's Wife. But since he didn't actually say her name everything's copacetic.

Do you happen to know what the definition of the word "is" is, by chance?

[Exsubmariner]

I thought the definition was whatever Bill Clinton needed it to be to get out of getting caught in a lie....

plausable deniability.

From the Washington Post. Why Rove has nothing to worry about:

"White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove spoke with at least one reporter about Valerie Plame's role at the CIA before she was identified as a covert agent in a newspaper column two years ago, but Rove's lawyer said yesterday that his client did not identify her by name.

To be considered a violation of the law, a disclosure by a government official must have been deliberate, the person doing it must have known that the CIA officer was a covert agent, and he or she must have known that the government was actively concealing the covert agent's identity.

Rove's conversation with Cooper could be significant because it indicates a White House official was discussing Plame prior to her being publicly named and could lead to evidence of how Novak learned her name.

"Rove did not mention her name to Cooper," Luskin said. "This was not an effort to encourage Time to disclose her identity. What he was doing was discouraging Time from perpetuating some statements that had been made publicly and weren't true."

BGC, are you daft?

He didn't mention her name. He said, as was stated in the Newsweek article, it was "Wilson's wife" when talking about the ambassador.

Out of curiosity, how many people do you think that might have narrowed the field down to? Is the ambassador mormon? Does the ambassador have a second family living somewhere that we don't know about? Seriously. I'm honestly asking you: Which of Wilson's wives do you think Rove was talking about?

And "conservative wack jobs" have been after Bill and Hillary Clinton for more than decade. What's your point.
