Rove Bombshell

The defense counsel in the Scooter Libby/CIA-leak trial delivered a massive blow to the White House today, blaming White House adviser Karl Rove for the leak that outed CIA operative Valerie Plame. According to various reports, the opening statement by Libby's defense attorneys included the reading of a note, written by Vice-President Cheney, that said:

Not going to protect one staffer and sacrifice the guy that was asked to stick his neck in the meat grinder because of the incompetence of others.

And to that mighty morsel the fact that MSNBC is reporting that Mr. Cheney is way more involved in this whole affair than previously thought.

Glad to see this back in the news. I always knew Cheney and Rove were behind this. If there is any justice they'll be indicted on charges soon and forced to resign.

Then again, the word "justice" takes on a whole new meaning under the administration of George W. Bush.
