The Mystery Man' Secret (Karl on Ice) [View All]

[H2O Man]

Three quotes on the situation with Karl Rove that should be of interest, and clarify why he is scheduled to chat with Patrick Fitzgerald in front of the grand jury next week.

{1} "Fitzgerald is intentionally keeping reporters and everyone else guessing as to what's really going on in his head. Last week, NEWSWEEK has learned, after Time's Matthew Cooper provided grand-jury testimony on his July 11, 2003, conversation with Karl Rove, Robert Luskin, Rove's attorney, placed a call to Fitzgerald to make sure he didn't need anything more from Rove in light of Cooper's claims. Fitzgerald didn't bite: 'We'll get back to you,' the prosecutor replied curtly, and quickly got off the line."

"Apparently, according to two journalist sources of mine, when Rove learned that he might have violated the law, he turned on Cheney and Libby and made it clear that he held them responsible for the problem they had created for the administration."
-- "The Politics of Truth"; Joseph Wilson; 2004; page 444.

"(Mark Felt) gave me a little lecture about breaking a conspiracy like Watergate. 'You build convincingly from the outer edges in, you get ten times the evidence you need against the Hunts and Liddys. They feel hopelessly finished -- they may not talk right away, but the grip is on them. Then you move up and do the same thing at the next level."
--"The Secret Man"; Bob Woodward; 2005; page 91.

Comments and questions are appreciated. I think DUers should compile a nice booklet to send Karl for his term of incarceration.
