Web of lies.

GratisNet: "From the Washington Post:

'A classified State Department memorandum central to a federal leak investigation contained information about CIA officer Valerie Plame in a paragraph marked '(S)' for secret, a clear indication that any Bush administration official who read it should have been aware the information was classified, according to current and former government officials.'

There you have it. They knew her identity was classified, they knew. Of course all of the fools and tools on the right will continue to engage in their little charade trying to define what the meaning of covert really is but they know they are being disengenuous and hypocritical. At the end of the day, the fact remains that her identity was classified, as indicated by the memo, and the memo was circulated among the White House staff while it was in the control of Colin Powell.

Oh yes, Karl Rove testified to the grand jury that he never saw the memo. Can you use 'orange jump suit' and 'frog march' in the same sentence? Fitzgerald will get someone, Ari Fleischer perhaps, who will not be willing to go to jail for this criminal enterprise known as the Bush regime and then in the parlance of crime writers immemorial, 'the jig will be up.'

I expect that Fitzgerald will use every day of the term of the grand jury (through October/November, if memory serves) to build 'Iron Maiden' cases for perjury, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to obstruct justice and oh yes, perhaps even one for exposing the identity of a covert CIA agent."

In connection to your previous post, it's a shame he can't nail them all for misleading us into war.

Hopefully, what he does manage to put together will make the already obvious, uh, undeniably obvious.

Indeed. While Fitzgerald cannot indict them for the obvious lies that resulted in the war on Iraq, one could hope that the congress, once Fitzgerald drops his bombs, would do their job by impeaching and convicting the whole sorry lot.

One could hope but then one could believe in the tooth fairy as well.

Chances of that coming to pass are slim and none. Slim has already left the building I'm afraid.
