The investigation moves closer to Bush |
From a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial, 7/15/05:

Dump Rove / The investigation moves closer to the president
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
As the Valerie Plame case becomes increasingly the Karl Rove case, and
as the rising water of it begins to lap closer to President Bush,
there are several truths about this matter that are worth keeping in
mind.
1. In the very beginning Mr. Bush said that it was unlikely that the
leaker would ever be found. There is every reason to believe that he
would then have taken steps to make that true.
2. It is now clear that presidential adviser Karl Rove did discuss
Valerie Plame with reporters, however those discussions are now being
described or construed. Mr. Bush said he would fire anyone in the
White House who did that.
3. The concept of nailing someone (Valerie Plame, the CIA agent) for
what her spouse may have done is unforgivably retrograde in 2005. (Ms.
Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, is the former ambassador who said that
President Bush's State of the Union claim that Iraq had bought uranium
was false.)
4. "Outing" a CIA agent is clearly a national security affair. The
Bush administration allegedly regards national security very
seriously. Mr. Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush, was
head of the CIA in 1976-77, so there is reason to believe the current
president takes the CIA seriously.
5. As a matter of national security, this is neither a Republican nor
a Democratic issue. Former Clinton security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy"
Berger was nailed for having pilfered classified documents and thus
eliminated from presidential candidate John Kerry's prospective list
of candidates for secretary of state.
6. Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has not yet sung. He is
supposed to be a tough prosecutor. That may mean that, however much
slippin' and slidin' Karl Rove has in mind, Mr. Fitzgerald may have
too much integrity to get rolled by the likes of him.

The Bush Crime Family is, undoubtedly, at this moment, sharpening its
knives, preparing to dissect Patrick J. Fitzgerald.

I recommend that Mr. Fitzgerald avoid flying in small airplanes for
athe next few years.

George Bush's War of Choice on Iraq is a totally unnecessary war.
Every life lost, every limb lost, every disfigurement, every
disability caused there is more blood on George W. Bush's hands,
and on the hands of everyone who voted for George W. Bush.
