I doubt this was Karl Rove's intention, but with his new book, he demonstrates how the Bush White House got away with lying. Here's the back story.

If you or I have strong suspicions that our neighbor is going to murder our family and we decide instead to go kill him before he can even lift a finger to do it we will be convicted of second degree murder charges, and sent to prison for years.
Bush suspected wrongly that Iraq had WMD and was going to attack us even though France and Germany had contrary evidence, as well as most alternative media. Still Bush attacked resulting in tens or hundreds of thousands of innocent deaths including new born babies (You Pro-Lifers still reading?). Bush faces no accountability for his murderous actions. You and I go to prison. He gets wealthier and sets a horrible example for our children.

Iraq was NEVER a threat to the U.S.,although it was a threat to Israel. This was a chance to make big money for select elites. Halliburton, Blackwater, the weapons complex(Lockhea d skunkworks primarily) but many many more, and Israelis in northern Iraq right now who buy up all the land.
Bush lied all along and the "conservatives" you mention all worship Trotsky. This was the worst president since Reagan. The numbers prove everything. Keep it up people and yes the United States will be Brazil some day. Sooner than later. I have no doubt ploiticians will be strung up when that day comes and they will be looking for those that colluded with the corporate elite that has blended with good ole boy money. Both will pay the price in the end for fleecing America and targeting the middle class and upper middle class. THEY DESTROYED THE USA.
Barbara, how could you raise such an idiotic monster?
Keep plugging David and thanks for your efforts.
Will someone do that now? soon? When?
Problem is that if the R's win again, there will be no fixin' ...they won't make that mistake again
You're absolutely right. And unfortunately it's always been the case. There's a line by Cato to the effect of, "Small thieves go to prison, big thieves go to the (Roman) Senate."
GWB promised to fire anyone involved in the Plame scandal but Rove kept his job anyway.
Thanks, Mr former President, for making your priorities so clear.
No! that plot wouldn't work! It's just to unbelievable. Great idea though. I just don't think people would buy it. Wait,,, I will put something in the drinking water that makes people really stupid, I'm on to something again. Brilliant!! NOT!!! ONLY IN AMERICA!! (the rest of the world doesn't buy crap like this)
The Republic is under siege by an enemy so psychologically stealthy that they only need attack every two or three years to maintain their reign of terror, and then, in deference and respect for our infrastructure, only by using special shoes or underwear that malfunction.
Thanks to men like Dick Cheney and Jack Bauer -- "true" patriots -- willing to defend the Homeland by any means necessary, our freedom and safety is guaranteed.
Who said irony was dead?
A large portion of the USA population is used to being lied too and the other half don't give a hoot anymore. The degradation of the USA begin a long time ago with the Reagan Administration.
Please consider a third party. It's time to find viable candidates and support them. We can't worry about the Nadar effect any more. We have to get some reasonably honest representation.
Start with 2 planes causing spontaneous perfect demolitions of 3 steel & concrete buildings for the first time in history--and by fires of insufficient temperatures, no less.
Then off we go to Afghanistan to build a pipeline & grow poppies, & to Iraq to grab oil fields for Cheney's energy task force & land for Israel, shock & awe having already been carried out in NYC.
Isn't it still a crime to have knowledge of a crime and not report it to the proper authorities? Or if you are the authority with documented confessions and don't prosecute, aren't you breaking the law?
hope my comments get posted.
You want to know, "When are they going to indict these criminals?"
You can help by contributing to former attorney general Ramsey Clark's mission:

"But Rove had indeed leaked the information about Valerie Plame Wilson..."
"In the book, Rove recounts that at some point he told the president he had been one of Novak's sources for the Plame leak."
The NYT says:
"He discloses that after the furor erupted, Mr. Bush called him from the Oval Office to ask about his involvement. Mr. Rove says he told the president that he had had a conversation with the columnist, Robert Novak, in which Mr. Novak told him that Mr. Wilson’s wife was a C.I.A. official, and he responded, 'I have heard that, too,' a comment that Mr. Novak took as confirmation."
Possibly Rove chose words (and a way of saying them?) that he knew Novak would take as confirmation, but would maintain plausible deniability for Rove. At best Corn oversimplified.
