Of Leaks--And Spies--Of Kingmakers And Why?s

Of Leaks--And Spies--Of Kingmakers And Why?s

'It seems a shame,' the Walrus said,'To play them such a trick...'

consider this part 3 of an ongoing lewis carroll-inspired peek at events and policies through the looking glass (parts 1 Link  and 2 Link.)

if karl rove did nothing illegal or innapropriate as regards novak's announcement that valerie plame worked for the cia and was married to ambassador joe wilson, wouldn't it have been easier on everyone if he'd stepped up to a microphone 2 years ago and let us know that was the case? 

as one of gwbush's closest associates (if not THE closest), couldn't he have simply told the president that he'd done nothing wrong?

as the chief of staff for policy, rove certainly should be well aware of the country's precarious financial situation.  why is it costing us a million and change to find out he did nothing wrong?

why is judy miller still in jail? 

   'I weep for you,'the Walrus said:
  'I deeply sympathize.'
With sobs and tears he denied
  Alleging wives were spies,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
  Before his streaming eyes.

does it seem likely to you that a man with 22 years of government service would call for an investigation that would ultimately lead to his own conviction?

Hate is a funny thing.  It amkes people do stupid things just to satisfy its burning desire.  SO yes, some people cut off their nose to spite their face.  That is not too hard to beleive.

for that reason, it seems more likely than not she is shielding someone in the whitehouse.

She may like Bush, but the editors of the NYT are not Bush fans in the least, and they can release the notes.  Sorry to blow a hole in your theory.

kingbee -

I stand corrected on Miller's employer - I think I knew that & just blew by it. That heightens my suspicions even further, however, because you know the NYT would go balls out to get anyone in Bush's circle. Krugman would gladly have any of them with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Cheers,
