Today, Karl Rove appeared on "Meet the Press." (I thought I felt a disturbance in the force.) During the round table, Matt Cooper called Rove a liar (though he didn't use that term) with regards to Rove's statements on the Valerie Plame affair during the broadcast.

    Rove will do anything to get his way. Lie, cheat, steal, etc.

      Cooper said Rove told him: "Don't get too far out on Wilson...a number of things are going to be coming out that would cast him differently."

      Cooper also told the jury that Rove said Wilson's wife "worked on [Weapons of Mass Destruction] at the Agency."

      Wilson's wife Mrs. Wilson MS. Wilson V. Wilson

      Cooper recounted a July 12, 2003 conversation he had with Libby where Libby allegedly confirmed Rove's assertions about Valerie Wilson by saying, "I heard that too."

      about Valerie Wilson, again Valerie Wilson, Joe wilson's wife, clear so far.

      So how did they find out Valerie Wilson is also called Valerie Plame?

      That Valerie Plame and Valerie Wilson are one in the same?

      If I open up my cities phone book and go to the "C" section and find Jill Cant and then filp though to the "T" section and fins a Jill Tell, how would I know that J. Cant and J. Tell are one in the same?

      Karl Rove is as UNAMERICAN as you can get. He should be kicked out of the country for all the harm he has done/helped to do to OUR country and us the citizens.

        Bill Moyers on Carl Rove

        "Karl Rove figured out a long time ago that the way to take an intellectually incurious draft-averse naughty playboy in a flight jacket with chewing tobacco inhis back pocket and make him governor of Texas, was to sell him as God's anointed in a state where preachers andtelevangelists outnumber even oil derricks and jack rabbits. Using church pews as precincts Rove turned religion into a weapon of political combat -- a batteringram, aimed at the devil's minions, especially at gay people."

              But but but he's a republican. don't you long for the days when Bush followers had drank so much kool-aid they went back to a b low job in the white house to distract from Bush's murdering ways by sending out men and women to die in Iraq when the real master mind is nowhere to be found?

                Crude Niger forgeries surface in Italian paper

                Sophie Arie in Rome, Ewen MacAskill and David Pallister

                Thursday July 17, 2003

                The Guardian

                Forged documents on which the British and US governments allegedly based their case that Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger were so crudely drafted that it is unlikely they would have stood up to more than a few hours' - or minutes' - scrutiny by any specialist, it emerged yesterday.

                  Side Issue in the Plame Case: Who Sent Her Spouse to Africa?

                  After he went public in 2003 about the trip, senior Bush administration officials, trying to discredit Wilson's findings, told reporters that Wilson's wife, who worked at the CIA, was the one who suggested the Niger mission for her husband. Days later, Plame was named as an "agency operative" by syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak, who has said he did not realize he was, in effect, exposing a covert officer. A Senate committee report would later say evidence indicated Plame suggested Wilson for the trip.

                    Over the past months, however, the CIA has maintained that Wilson was chosen for the trip by senior officials in the Directorate of Operations counterproliferation division (CPD) -- not by his wife -- largely because he had handled a similar agency inquiry in Niger in 1999. On that trip, Plame, who worked in that division, had suggested him because he was planning to go there, according to Wilson and the Senate committee report.

                    Rove is a piece of shxx. As everyone here has said he will do anything to protect himself and Bush,lie,cheat,steal anything goes with him. Talk about draft dodging, I am sure Rove would be the first to run to Canada if he was drafted.

                      looks like the facists put one over on us. Rove is now free to fix another election for the repukes. Karl "the Fixer" Rove. why did we go into Iraq? the answer is so simple people complicate it. #1-oil reserves. we need a pro-western gov. in iraq so Bush&Co can make tons of cash. #2 rebuilding iraqi infrastructure. wat companies were there and why the "no-bid" contracts? #3 private military co's that are owned and run by Halliburton, Bechtel, and retired Generals and other Spec. Ops officers who had ties to Bush, the Pentagon and co's owned by friends of Dubya. all the while, our treasury is being spent, the Chinese own so much here, if they pulled out, we'd be broke. they have gutted the US military, all based on a lie. why not finish off the t-ban, aq in a-stan? maybe they want that bogey-man threat there so as to hold onto power. this country is crumbling from within. CORRUPT POLITICIANS. LOBBYISTS. buy guns, another revolution may be wat we need.

                          WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

                          We need oil reserves and a pro-western gov. in Iraq so you can drive your hummer to work, use too much electricity, and experience all of these modern conveniences.

                          Did you walk to work today? Ride your bike? No? I bet you drove your car or took a bus huh? Those require oil to run!

                        Don't you think the focus here should be on Matt Cooper's bravery for pointing it out in this instance? Matt kind of reminds me of that Chinese dude that stood in front of the tank. Gives me goose bumps!

                            As much as Karl Rove scares me, the fact that he did all that he did with the knowledge and consent of George Bush scares me even more. Both Rove and Bush are completely without honor. Can we afford to keep Bush in office until Jan 09?

                              The list of people who have lied about what actually happened during this affair includes nearly everyone who played a part--starting with Joe Wilson and MS. Plame herself, and certainly including both Karl Rove AND Matt Cooper.

                              How well each person comes out will depend upon how effective their enemies are at smearing them, but no one is clean.

                                Right Oscar. Time and time I see neocons here claim that it was Armitage. And they are right. What they try to ignore is that, during the investigation, it became clear that a number of Bushies were on a whisper campaign revealing Plame's covert status to the media. That list includes Cheney, Rove, and Libby.

                                They also want to ignore the fact that Rove initially lied under oath about it, but was allowed to come back and "correct" his testimony, and so ultimatly not charged.

                                  I saw the interview and thought it very interesting that Rove admitted there were no WMD's. Where are the nutbirds that still contend there were WMD's? At the local recruiter?

                                      In some ways does this surprise anyone? What would be surprising in this Administration is a newstory that relates how someone told the truth and nothing but the truth. THAT would make headlines coming out of the Bush Administration.

                                        No matter how bad the Admin men were and are, most disturbing has been the media support the soft peddling the ignoring basic facts.

                                        Rove said he didn't think he made any security breach, and if he had, then he would have been prosecuted. One of the regular Bush party arguments was that there was no crime, no one was charged over the leaks, and so on.

                                        But no one mentions that the reason there was no crime is that, before the leak campaign started, Bush removed Plames identity from the national security secrecy (or what ever it is called) list.

                                        Bush did that. Then the leaks started. No one asked him why he did that if he was not in full awareness of the dirty tricks planned.

                                        Also what has been usually not mentioned is that there were several leaks by several administration folk to several reporters. Armitage to Novak was just one of the later ones.

                                        The actual story, no matter how well known and settled has been consistently smoothed and fuzzed over and ignored.

                                        By the media.
