Rove Eating His Own

Rove Told Grand Jury Libby May Have Been His Source In Leak Case-- uh huh, sure.
Rove would have us and the grand jury believe that he didn't know what his left hand was doing. Does anyone here believe that Rove really didn't already know the name of a CIA operative who also just happened to be the wife of Joseph Wilson? Well, I certainly believe he and the whole Bush Adiministration knew but then I live in the real world, not in the Rove/Bush world of make believe.

Jim VandeHei and Carol D. Leonnig staff writers for the Washington Post report...

White House adviser Karl Rove told the grand jury in the CIA leak case that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, may have told him that CIA operative Valerie Plame worked for the intelligence agency before her identity was revealed, a source familiar with Rove's account said yesterday.

Questions, so many unanswered questions...

But many unknowns remain. What role did Hannah play? What, if any, role was played by former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer? Who was the second source for Robert D. Novak, the columnist who first disclosed Plame's name and role in July 2003? Who was the White House official who leaked word about Wilson's wife to The Washington Post's Walter Pincus, who has never publicly revealed his source?

It is possible the public will never learn the answers to these and other questions because Fitzgerald is not required to produce a report and could complete the investigation without charging anyone with a crime.

It's only the 20th of October, we still have plenty of time for more Administration officials to turn on each other and October surprises, so...

Stay tuned
