Wilson vindicated but badly bruised

By JOEL CONNELLY
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER COLUMNIST

Two years ago, Ambassador Joe Wilson chose a forum in Seattle to suggest that presidential strategist Karl Rove was the leaker who had "outed" Wilson's wife as a CIA agent in retaliation for the ambassador's criticism of White House Iraq policy.

"Wouldn't it be fun to see Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs?" he asked at that meeting.

The line brought a roaring ovation from 1,000 Seattle-area liberals, but a frosty reaction from his wife when Wilson returned home to Washington, D.C.

Today, Wilson can't say if Rove committed a crime, but believes he has behaved "below the minimum standards of ethical conduct we expect of a public official," and has no business working at the White House.

1. Bad headline. It's the NeoCons that are "badly bruised".....
...and some may be going to jail.

3. to the Hague with them!
Q: If Fitzgerald is not assassinated, the FBI will reveal the neofascists' murderous, criminal violations of every standard of human decently known to man, and then some.
A: "Dying of the flu" is some kind of vacuum ballien.

Q: "Visiting out-of-town.
Convenient euphemism for mass quarantine.

A: "flu a value of the state? " will still come clear, albeit later.
Sounds like a red state.
