Mystical Politics Paparazi: Rove-gate

Who Leaked to the Leakers?

This article confirms the feeling I had in my post on tuesday that this has the potential to go much higher and be of more consequence than it seems right now. Working with so few "Facts" leads one to conclude that the smoking gun has yet to be introduced. The smell of the two year old powder burns have resurfaced and the stinch is being spread to the public by the M$M as it should have been in 2003. This is a must read... - fc

Rove-gate: Who Leaked to the Leakers?
This isn't about Karl Rove
by Justin Raimondo
July 15,2005

What if Karl Rove isn't guilty of knowingly leaking Valerie Plame's name as a covert CIA agent involved in nuclear proliferation issues? What if Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, is correct when he says that he's been assured by prosecutors that his client is not a target of the ongoing investigation into Plame-gate? I'm going to swim against the tide, here, and against the expectations of my readers, by suggesting that this investigation isn't about Rove – and, furthermore, that Rove is a victim, in an important sense, someone who was used and abused by the real culprits. And who are these mysterious culprits?

[... snip]

The fast developing scandal seemingly centered around Rove and a few journalists has only begun to unfold. By the time it is over, we'll have the War Party – or, at the very least, a few high profile representatives – in the dock, and then the fun will really begin. So forget "Rove-gate" and get ready for "Cheney-gate." I'll gladly forgo the pleasure of seeing the president's chief political advisor frog-marched out of the White House for the prospect of seeing our vice president, along with his top staffers, led out of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in handcuffs.
