    Democrats have failed once again.
    This president is so dumb but yet he is able to run circles around them
    time and time again.:lol:

    I guess that 10 page thread about Rove, Wilson and Plume was much to do about nothing.
    The Democrats will now use spin control and attack the prosecutor.
    They have too, its the way they operate.:thumb:

    Naaa, it was the Republican justice department prosecutor that failed. The Executive branch has investigated itself and found itself innocent. The Republican Congress will not hold their own investigation so the Democrats will not have a chance to question anything.

    There was no leak, apparently. The Plame outing never happened. That is the conclusion of this prosecutor? Well, the political damage is done anyway. The public is not fooled.

    Interesting. A few months ago Fitzgerald was the perfect professional, he would never let politics get in the way of justice...untill he said oops the libs were wrong. Now they all turn on him

    Investigations like this one need to be more transparent. There is often times enough wiggle room for the one side or the other to scream witch hunt. I think alot of times there isn't enough independence, and that is just begging for someone to scream foul.

    I don't care if he gets indicted or not. It's pretty apparent that Rove is a dirty liar. I wouldn't trust him with my bank card. I mean he does associate with politicians.

    Who are you talking about? Not me. Here is what I said when this leak scandal came up in 2005:

    http://www.tigerforums.com/showthread.php?t=32115 post 7.

    I've always been suspicious that the executive branch would not police itself properly. Libby has already testified that Bush OK'ed the leak. Then the president invoked executive privilege--said he could leak it if he chose to. So the prosecutor says, "OK then there no leak, I guess".

    So why did Bush tell us all at the beginning that he would find and prosecute the source of the leak? It didn't happen did it? Instead Bush just redefined the term "leak" when it came back to Dick, Karl and himself. There never was a leak we are now being told.

    Sure. The public believes that completely and will re-elect all the republicans, now. :lol:

    you still dont understand a very simple concept. if you are the president, you decide what information is a leak and what isnt. when you say you will find leakers, you dont mean yourself. leakers are people who are not authorized to release information. the president is authorized.

    if your boss tells you not to do something that only he is authorized to do, that means you cannot do it, but he can. i cant see how you dont understand this.

    oops nevermind i did i make a mistake are you talking about the plame thing or the other leak thing? i dont think libby testified that bush ok'd the plame leak. i think we are mixing our leak stories?
