Aside from certain Jeff Gannon/James Guckert-related reasons for Rove's being in the closet, what I'm talking about here is pretty simple. There's leaking classified information and then there's lying to the FBI about leaking classified information. And, in case you aren't already buried deep enough, you can then lie to a grand jury convened to investigate the CIA's belief that the leaking constituted a criminal offense.
Let's review: leak, lie to FBI, lie to grand jury. Oh, and have the career officers at the CIA pissed at you.
And the special prosecutor is Patrick Fitzgerald, a young man, an energetic man, a dedicated man who has an impeccable reputation as a prosecutor.
Karl and Scooter have never before been in a position like this, I would guess. It's a position not controlled by them any longer, nor to be helped by their influential friends, nor the cronies of the fathers of their influential friends, and they don't have any damaging material to leak about Fitzgerald. And, of course, even a sleazebag like Rove must realize the idiocy of trying to smear a special prosecutor once he's got the goods on you. About all that's left is to bitch yourself into the kneeling position and beg for mercy.
I'm so happy this morning. Yes, I know it's schadenfreude, but don't you think that this will be some real justice done for a change? If you were a CIA operative in the field, or a foreign asset working with our CIA, how would you feel about a White House official leaking classified information in time of war? And Chimpie's next, by golly. And Cheney. Chimpie and Cheney, just a hair's breadth from indictment city, baby. Yeah!
Go to Bloomberg and read all about it.

Olaf: Is it true the Pillsbury Dough Boy and the Michelin Man will be wrestling nude on TV? (I am so tired of "Grand Theft Auto."} Will it be on the gay wrestling channel on my cable system? Do you know what day and time?
Oh, and who is this Karl Rove you mention? Name doesn't ring a bell. Let me know.
