Right, the line must've been drawn at the Republican "goose stepping" comment. Forgive me.

Are you being sarcastic, or are you intentionally forgetting that this all came as a direct result of somebody's () character assassination of Wilson for speaking up about the Nigerian yellowcake rubbish?

So wait, you're saying that this simply re-affirms the fact that the Bush administration was wrong about WMDs??? WELL WE ALREADY KNEW THAT! And more importantly, we already
had a referendum on that, it happened last Nov. 2.
This was a smear campaign against Wilson, but saying nasty things about someone isn't illegal. Violating the law by publicizing classified information, now THAT'S more relevant. The Senate intelligence committee, the same one that said our intelligence gathering was sloppy, also said that any assumptions made by Bush over Niger were reasonale. They also dismissed Joe Wilson's now infamous NY Times editorial, because the accusations he makes couldn't be totally verified by fact.
Do I believe Saddam bought viable yellow cake for weapons purposes? No. Do I think Joe Wilson could've been 100% sure of this? No.
I just think it would be good to wait and see what happens, because if the media shoves this down everyone's throats, and Rove gets off, it'll make the Democrats look retarded. Not only that, if this investigation brings no clear hammer down on Rove (the investigation is not focused solely on him), but Rove is pressured to resign
anyway, he then will become yet another one of these conservative martyrs that we'll have thrown in our faces for years to come, like Justice Bork.
