"Republicans lined up and went on record claiming they had knowledge...
...that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby had nothing to do with the leak, including President Bush. This turns out now NOT to be the case."

Karl Rove, George Bush, and the GOP: Osama’s Best Friends
Posted by Balletshooz on July 22, 2005 06:49 PM

The scandal swirling around Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and the GOP continues to expand and become more damaging with each passing day. As they continue to cling to Karl Rove as if he is some kind of savior, they are blissfully unaware that they are associating themselves and their political movement with a man and an operation that has intentionally and purposefully conferred great benefit on Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, and the terrorists who killed thousands on 9-11.

It is now known that Robert Novak testified to the grand jury that “two administration officials” leaked the name of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame to him. It is also known that after an intense appellate process that went all the way to the Supreme Court, Time magazine’s Matthew Cooper recently met with the grand jury and admitted it was Karl Rove who first leaked the CIA status of Joseph Wilson’s wife.

<snip>

It appears now that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby not only leaked a name, but also lied about the leak, and not only that, all of this occurs in the context of a criminal investigation. This is not an unpatriotic fishing expedition into the President’s personal life as happened to Bill Clinton, it is a real criminal case with ramifications of endangering this country and strengthening the hand of Osama bin Laden. The silence on the right is deafening.
