BuzzFlash: If a Mob Boss Says to a Hit Man, "Kill Jim Smith's Wife"...

[tuvor]

If a Mob Boss Says to a Hit Man, "Kill Jim Smith's Wife," Can He Claim He Didn't Order the Murder Because He Didn't Mention Her Name? Apparently, That's Karl Rove's Thinking.

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL
July 12, 2005

We've warned BuzzFlash readers not to get too overjoyed about the reports of Karl Rove being nailed as one of the two people who outed Valerie Plame as a CIA operative specializing in tracking the illicit sales of WMD at a time that he was orchestrating the propaganda to start a war based on a nation possessing illicit WMD (which they didn't actually possess).

It is so monstrously treasonous -- such a big lie and betrayal -- that it is hard to believe.

But it is, apparently, true.

However, the Bush Administration is, it appears, adopting a strategy of toughing out their treason by claiming that Karl Rove didn't actually "name" Valerie Plame to Matt Cooper, among other "reporters." Rove did, according to "Time" e-mails, assert that Joe Wilson's wife worked for the CIA and specialized in WMD, but he, apparently, will assert that he didn't utter the name "Valerie Plame."

2. I'm not a lawyer but

I find it unimaginable that it could matter in the least. The whole thing strikes me as being even sillier than arguing about what the meaning of "is" is!
