Karl Rove, next thoughts...
Since writing the previous post, it has been documented that Valerie Plame was NOT a covert agent with the CIA at the time of the alleged "outing". Nor was she a covert agent within the last five years of the alleged "outing".
Just because she is an employee of the CIA doesn't make anything said about her to BE an "outing". Her former boss told Sean Hannity today that this whole thing is a non-event and "ridiculous".
So, no matter how Karl Rove stated his words to any reporters, it would be no different if he had said "George Tenet". Tenet was a known overt employee of the CIA and wouldn't have been a big deal if he had been referred to. So it is with Plame. She, like Tenet, is a FORMER covert agent from years ago. NO ONE was "outed".
With all of these new facts, it is clear that no crime has been committed, no ethical situations were created. It is just as Plame's former boss said, a NON-EVENT.
The fact remains then that the Democrats are using this issue because they are so poverty-stricken on any other issues. So they are more or less CREATING an issue to embarrass the Bush administration. How pathetic and un-American.
Here we are with al-Quaida supposedly on our soil, seeking for opportunities to destroy us and our way of life...and the Democrats are playing politics. Get a life, Harry Reid and Chuckie Shumer.
