did Karl Rove commit treason?
a breaking story....
at least two sources have identified Karl Rove as the source who blew the cover of CIA agent Valerie Plame for the purpose of discrediting her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, the man who debunked the administration's "yellow cake" uranium story. a synopsis, courtesy of PEJ: Quote:

I thinks I watched a video about this this old boy and others
"uncovered the truth about iraq" (Just the tiitle I get called nasty names for giving links) It had lots of long serving CIA people saying things. Then again what do they know about F--k all? Them CIA are all traitors" Don't you just love them terms traitors and treason? Opps I'm getting a little confused I can't work out whose side I'm on. Then again the waters are so mucky I could end up on either side. The right side or the left side,depends on which way the tide is going. Don't you just love the ebb and flow.. "God bless America" And all who saill in her.

Back in September 2003, when the White House was still resisting the appointment of a special prosecutor, the President reportedly told his aides, including Mr. Rove, "I want to get to the bottom of this." His press secretary told the country that the President considered the leak to be "a very serious matter" and said that anyone responsible would be fired. "If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration," said Scott McClellan, speaking for Mr. Bush. by the president's own reported standards (which, of course, are subject to change daily), Rove should be fired, if not prosecuted. |

How many were killed as a result of his treachery?
When you've got that figure, multiply it by 20 years, add 30 for the treason, and you've got your magic number.

If you're interested in watching a good video on Karl Rove check out Bush's Brain over at NetFlix. It details his rise and other things he had been accused of.

So, in this 'did Karl Rove commit treason?' thread, the "ball" is bouncing away like a rat leaving a sinking ship.
I guess the dogs have been barking up the wrong tree. Or at the wrong ball. I hope the liberals have the decency to apologize for their reckless accusations. |

Smokes and mirrors? Politics will always be played. Treason is just a word here. This is the real world. Do you really have faith in our system? I hope so. Because,If you do,truth and decency(and lots of other things) should sit side by side. Tall order I know. I've been told Faith moves mountains we'll see. "The decency to apologize for their reckless accusations" Please think about this statment a little and reflect. God does not pay his debts in money.

Here's something interesting I've just read.
Quite a bit of interesting stuff here. The Jon Stewart with Bernie Goldberg thing is funny. Hey Nic whoever wrote this hates Hilary too. http://www.bushflash.com/index.html "Okay- alone amongst the progressive/liberal blogosphere, I'm going to have to break the sad news, to those sharks swimming around the recent "Rove-gate." You've fallen into another distraction, here. Rove is laughing at us, and at you. This is the Bush/Rove tactics at their most transparent. I'm not diminishing the outing of Plame, in any way, in saying this. What Rove did was unconscionable, treasonous, and criminal- but ya know what? This is the way Rove does things- notice that, in recent months, scandal after scandal has been pouring out of the republicans and the Bush bowl? First it was Tom Delay- then it was the Downing Street Memo- now, it's Rove. They know how the american media works, and are well aware of how short the american attention span is. Yes- all the chickens are coming home to roost, and while we on the left enjoy seeing this happen, Rove and the Bush crime family are sitting back, and letting at all unfold- they know they'll never be called to account... Why? Because the way the media works. Let's go back in time, for just a bit.... Delay's corruption scandal was trumpeted by the left as a damning indictment of republican hubris- What did Rove and the republicans do? They spouted their soundbites, their talking points, and treaded water, until the media (and the sheeple) were distracted by Michael jackson, and the Downing Street memo. Once the downing street memo arrived on the scene, the left trumpeted this as the "smoking gun", that would bring down the Bush administration. The republicans dug in, spun their wheels, spouted their talking points and soundbites, until the bombings in London swept everything away. Rove, knowing that the DSM was enough of a powederkeg to survive this terrorist attack, decided to put his own wedding tackle on the chopping block, and provide the media with this newest scandal, knowing that the MSM (along with the progressive/liberal alternative media) would latch onto this story. Rove KNOWS damn well that he's a prime target, and doesn't mind one whit, putting himself on the line, as a temporary distraction, until the next story erupts, and we all go dutifully scrambling after the newest "scandal." Why would Rove do such a thing? Well- ask yourself- how many times, in the last two weeks, has the Downing Street memo been mentioned, via the MSM (compared to daily mention, prior to this?) How much coverage has been given to Bush's refutation of greenhouse gas restrictions, just in the past 48 hours? How much coverage has been given to the continuing collapse of "No Child Left Behind", and the dozens of other failures that are dogging this administration? None- not one, single word. It's been "Rove, Rove, Rove", and while weightier issues have fallen by the wayside, issues that are far more important, and meaningful, Rove has been basking in the light of media attention, and laughing at us on the left, while we spend so much energy going after him, and giving far more important issues a pass, in our collective bloodlust. Mark my words- in a few weeks, Rove will walk free of this, the next scandal will emerge, and the whole cycle will begin again. Rove is laughing at us, people. Just as I abstained from covering the fluff that was "Gannongate", I will not be covering Rove's latest subterfuge. In my mind, the Downing Street Memo is of far greater import, and far greater gravity, as an issue. This is a severe and true test of the "new media" of the blogs and the internet- will we follow in the steps of the MSM, and follow the "scandal du jour", and thus, dance to the tune of Rove, and others who "manufacture consent", or will we focus on what's important? I haven't much faith, by what I've seen, as of late... No matter what Rove did- treason, crime, or whatever, it pales in comparison to the criminality exposed by the Downing Street Memo. Rove knows he'll ride this one out (just as Bush as ridden greater scandals out), and by the time the smoke clears, no one will remember the DSM.... We're being snowed, once again..."

the White House press briefings have become a daily game of dodgeball between McClellan and the press corps. the stonewalling on the part of the administration is so complete, the exchanges are hardly worth repeating...except for this:
