Mr. Rove and the Access of Evil
by Greg Palast

The only thing more evil, small-minded and treacherous than the Bush Administration's jailing Judith Miller for a crime the Bush Administration committed, is Judith Miller covering up her Bush Administration "source."
Judy, Karl Rove ain't no "source." A confidential source -- and I've worked with many -- is an insider ready to put himself on the line to blow the whistle on an official lie or hidden danger. I would protect a source's name with my life and fortune as would any journalist who's not a craven jerk (the Managing Editor of Time Magazine comes to mind).

But the weasel who whispered "Valerie Plame" in Miller's ear was no source. Whether it was Karl Rove or some other Rove-tron inside the Bush regime (and no one outside Bush's band would have had this information), this was an official using his official info to commit a crime for the sole purpose of punishing a REAL whistleblower, Joseph Wilson, Plame's husband, for questioning our President's mythological premise for war in Iraq.

1. "The Bush Administration" didn't jail Judy Miller

The Justice Department did, and it's a good thing they did it.

Let's get it straight Greg.

2. I think he means they could of step forward and

said who it was from the WH that talked to Judy or relieve her of her confidentiality statment...

3. Wouldn't it be appropriate to have Rove arrested

under the Patriot Act? He should be treated like any other American and put in a cell and left there indefinately, with no charges filed.
