Karl Rove and Valerie Plame

I'm not one to pile on to stories, but the Valerie Plame case is one in which someone in the White House -- and perhaps more than one person -- committed a serious crime.

For many of us, the manner by which we went to war in Iraq is crime enough, but like Al Capone, a more tangible crime like tax evasion or outing a CIA agent is needed to send someone to prison, or at least to get them expelled from the White House.

I'm eager to hear about Fitzgerald's next steps, but to add a bit of color to the story -- I had drinks recently with a person (unnamed of course) who has been close to Karl Rove and his operation for years.

I asked whether it was possible that Rove had weighed in to this vengeful battle against Joe Wilson not knowing the illegality of commenting on Valerie Plame Wilson's covert responsibilities. This person simply smiled and said that Karl Rove "doesn't make these kinds of mistakes" and knew "exactly what he was doing."

1. Karl Rove has proven

what a snake in the grass he is over and over. The court of public opinion is where he will meet his eventual fall from grace. It need not be a jail term however deserving that may be. No doubt he has tried to cover his ass, but everyone makes mistakes.
