He identified Wilson's wife as a CIA operative, but NOT by name. Therefore he will be up for nomination for the Bill Clinton "All depends on what your definition of "is" is" award.
Yep. I bet he doesn't even get thrown off of bush staff.

1. I really don't think that Fitzgerald knows less about this than we do. |
|
He wouldn't be plugging along if he didn't have something.

2. "Joe Wilson's wife is an undercover CIA agent" is the same as |
|
giving Cooper her name. IMCPO

3. Nonsense. If he identified her as Joe Wilson's wife, he identified her. |
|
Unless Ambassador Wilson has more than one wife.

9. And it only stands to reason that his wife would be an undercover |
|
agent whose cover is being actively maintained.
To ID her as his wife and working for the CIA is one thing; to knowningly blow her cover, a different matter.

5. Sorry, but that's a rightwing talking point. I doubt seriously that.... |
|
...Fitzgerald would be pursuing this to the extent that he is if Rove had actually "identified Wilson's wife as a CIA operative, but NOT by name".
Baloney. And NeoCon baloney at that.

7. Fitzgerald is more than likely retooling to pursue perjury charges. |
|
Rove's scumbag move may provide enough wiggle-room under the current statute, but if he denied revealing any information to the grand jury...he's screwed for different reasons. As with most criminal Repuke actions, it's not the original crime that trips up these scumbags...it's their stupid attempts at cover their tracks.

8. You're right about that... |
|
It's always the cover up that gets them in the end.
