Rove - a bunch of hooya about nothing.

While the Dims rant about Rove's supposed treachery (is that pot kettle black??) in leaking the name of a covert agent, Mr. Wilson (the supposed covert agent's husband) has had some interesting things to say according to Newsday (sorry, can't get hyperlinks to work http://www.nynewsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/sns-ap-cia-leak-rove,0,4798469,print.story?coll=nyc-nationhome-headlines ), it appears, from Mr. Wilson's own mouth, that he admits his wife wasn't a covert op at the time the story was published. His statement was "My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity," while, according to reports, she hadn't been a covert op for years. Are the Dims gonna argue it's illegal to discuss ANY CIA employee?

Not only that, but the Wilson's themselves were "liberal" with "outing" Mrs. Palme. In the Washington Times, (http://www.washtimes.com/national/20050715-121257-9887r.htm">Washington Times), Fred Rustman, a former undercover agent, stated that the Wilson's were very open about their employers, including Mrs. Palme(Wilson's) job at the CIA. He stated emphatically "She made no bones about the fact that she was an agency employee and her husband was a diplomat" Anybody find it hypocritical that Wilson wants Rove fired for the same thing he did? If you don't your a Dim.

She wasn't covert, she was telling neighors and people she met she worked at the agency. So the Dims are just doing what they do best, becoming more insignifigant every day by focusing/hyping beyond belief, non-issues and leading their flock of sheep on about a non-existant grand conspiracy of evil. Typical.

Again, waiting on all the facts to come out.... but one thing is relatively clear - IF Bush had lost the election, this wouldn't be a story or a problem. The Dims are still just mad they lost.
