Rove Called Before Grand Jury for Fifth Appearance

News:

Karl Rove has been called to testify this afternoon before the grand jury investigating the outing of Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA operative, marking his fifth appearance. This time around, the recently sort-of demoted Deputy Chief of Staff will have to address new evidence that his lawyers had inappropriate conversations with a reporter for Time magazine.

Hey, we.........

Try this one on for size. Top Republicans are being indicted

In my country we are free to comment however we want.
This, in spite of being called all kinds of nasty names now
for YEARS, for having a different opinion than that of
a President who's policies have all failed. This case going on right now has to do with the Whitehouse doing serious damage to our CIA's
intelligence gathering, specifically involving nuclear arms.
Who's side are YOU on now? I'm for the Constitution and this

grand jury probe

ARN'T YOU BEING DISHONEST WHEN YOU SAY THE GRAND JURY IS INVESTAGATING THE OUTING OF VALERIE PLAME AS AN UNDERCOVER CIA OPERTIVE AFTER ALL, THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR HAS DETERMINED THAT SHE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE STATUTE BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT AN UNDERCOVER O-ERATOR, NOR HAD SHE BEEN ONE FOR MORE THAN SIX YEARS. ALSO, ISN'T IT TRUE THAT THE ONLY REASON HER NAME CAME UP WAS THAT HER HUSBAND LIED TO REPORTERS WHEN HE SAID HIS ASSIGNMENT TO NIGER WAS ON RECOMMENDATION OF THE VICE- PRESIDENTS OFFICE, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS HIS WIFE WHO ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED HIM FOR THE ASSIGNMENT. ALSO, IT WAS COMMON KNOWLEDGE IN WASHINGTON THAT MS PLAME WORKED FOR THE CIA. MR. WILSON COMMONLY INTRODUCED HER AS "MY CIA WIFE".

Oh boy, this is easy.....

"ARN'T YOU BEING DISHONEST WHEN YOU SAY ........."

Uh, no, we're not. YOU are, however revealing yourself to be a propagandized con-job since EVERYTHING, every single "point" you allege is FALSE. Just Con talking points, and all have been discredited, over and over.....please be original, as this silliness is just BORING.

SORRY I KNOW JOE WILSON HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS. I KNEW HIS WIFE WORKED FOR THE CIA SINCE 1998. ALSO, THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR HAS STATED THAT SHE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE STATUTE REGARDING COVERT OPERTIVES, BECAUSE SHE HAD NOT BEEN COVERT FOR AT LEAST 6 YEARS PRIOR TO THE ALLEDGED ACT. I AM NOT A CONSERVATIVE, BUT A LIBERAL WHO IS SADDENED BY THE LACK OF INTELLECTUAL DEPTH AND HONESTY OF MY FELLOW SO CALLED LIBERALS.

hey mr group think/lockstepping thought police nazi

just because i base my opinions on my own research and don't subscribe to group think doesn't make me a con, liar or whatever other adjective you can think to call me. you are intellectually dishonest

more name calling by repubs

" you are intellectually dishonest"

facts from wikipedia

During the press conference, Fitzgerald was asked if he knew whether Libby revealed Plame's covert status knowingly; he responded:

Let me say two things. Number one, I am not speaking to whether or not Valerie Wilson was covert. And anything I say is not intended to say anything beyond this: that she was a CIA officer from January 1st, 2002, forward. I will confirm that her association with the CIA was classified at that time through July 2003. And all I'll say is that, look, we have not made any allegation that Mr. Libby knowingly, intentionally outed a covert agent. We have not charged that. And so I'm not making that assertion.[9]

fitzgerald said

I will confirm that her association with the CIA was classified at that time through July 2003.

If you based your opinion on

If you based your opinion on research that was well rounded
and not just a regurgitation of Rush's rant or the latest sputem from Fox news then you might find the truth.

Logic says that liberal ideals are the best for all citizens.
Medicare, human rights for all, voting rights, social security,
etc. all good things for humans and all liberal ideas and I'm glad to see my taxes paying for good things.

I'm not pleased that our tax money is being given away and corporation
presidents are getting fat off of my hard work.
You should not be happy about it either.

When you finally develop a logical thought process you will
see the light ... until then I think you will have to be
satisfied with little pats on the back from Nixon lovers like
JPN.

Liberals don't think as a group ... they think as independents.
This may be why Republicans win elections. THEY lockstep and
think as a cult does. Whatever the leaders say, the followers
believe.

Cause I see your lips moving, but all I hear is Faux News and Druggie Limbaugh.

You made the comment "ARN'T YOU BEING DISHONEST WHEN YOU SAY..."
(We won't even get into spelling here). Fact is, nearly EVERYTHING you said in your post is incorrect. A judge ruled that, for the purpose of Fitzgerald's investigation, Valerie Plame WAS A COVERT OPERATIVE of the CIA. Her covert status was within FIVE YEARS. The CIA has admitted that they told Wilson the request was made AT THE BEHEST OF THE VICE PRESIDENT. Perhaps the CIA was lying to Wilson, but that is what they told him.

And BTW, Novak outed not only Plame, but an entire CIA Brass Plate operation (Brewster Jennings).

hey joe doesn't live in a vacuum. a lot of people know him, not just me. I'm not saying i'm best buds or something,and he's never been shy about telling people where his wife worked. fyi: fitzgerald has stated that he couldn't find any criminality in the releasing of valerie's name, because she didn't qualify as a covert agent under the statute. and hey, i was educated in a ghetto school, so if i mispell a word here or there, excuse me.

All these people now how to

All these people know how to do is attack the person and not the message. That is why when November rolls around they will not take either the House nor the Senate and will not capture the presidency in "08" All they speak of is opinions not based on any facts.

excuse me

i have not engaged in any name calling etc. distortion of the truth appears to be the hallmark of your thought processes

it depends on the definition of name calling.

distorting the truth?

saying that i'm distorting the truth is name calling. but how specifically am i distorting the truth?

You're still a liar.

Do your fingers burn like fire when you type the word "truth"?

Your repeated assertion that Wilson frequently and cavalierly revealed his wife's classified status IS DEMONSTRABLY FALSE. IT'S JUST NOT TRUE, and you know that full well.

You, sir, are a liar... A LIAR.

As to your assertion that you are an aquaintance of Wilson, I don't believe you... not even a little. Frankly, I think you're full of shit.

Oh christ, you fat-assed whiner

Get a life, J-Dog. Here's a clue: Your first sentence is a fallacy known as "overgeneralization." Not all of us attack knobinskis like you; I happen to enjoy doing so because 1) you choose to defile this site with your rancid vitriol, 2) you're an easy target 'cause it's obvious by your assinine attempts at communication that you're an idiot (e.g., either/or, neither/nor, you ignor-ranus), and 3) I'm shoveling into your lap the same lovely crap O'Really? and Rash Limbo wretch and deny, all in the same breath (namely, name-calling). The difference, Brain Boy, between your right-wing poster boys and me is that I whole-heartedly admit I call you [well-deserved and, IMHO, appropriate] names. So go screw yourself.

Here's another clue: Your overall "argument" re: the November elections is unsound and invalid. I'll spare you the details of your insane premises and conclusion. Take a class, that's all I can recommend.

Feels shitty, doesn't it, to be pushed around and called names? It should. Roll in it a while, savor the scent and steamy warmth. It's what your pals at Fox (did I mention Mann Coulter?) do so well.

I don't need to argue the issues; I know them, reasearch them, read them, learn them, and I certainly don't imagine that any amount of hammering you with reality and facts will drive sense into your hard-line head (I've studied PR, advertising, and persuasive comm, I know better).

I read the sensible sentiments of my colleagues on this and myriad other sites, as, IMHO, should you. Take a hint; go away. My self-proclaimed job here is to cheer on my pals and push bullies like you around on this playground. Got it? Good.

You don't like ad hominem? Then get your opinions out of my face, and by all means, don't either watch or listen to Fox or right-wing radio.

Now go study up on that grammar, spelling, and punctuation like I suggested yesterday. You get another F in composition today, JPN!

Take care, flunky.

"Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election" with Mark Crispin Miller.

Mark Crispin Miller is the author of three books dealing with the Bush/Cheney administration and the dangerous conservative movement that is driving it. In his most recent, "Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election and Why They'll Steal the Next One Too", he argues it wasn't moral values that swung the election - it was theft. In this presentation on April 9, 2006 at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, he spoke about the 2004 stolen presidential election and the take-over of the Republican Party by religious fundamentalists.

Here is a pretty good.....

....article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame

"In the a[ff]idavit, Fitzgerald states "[Judith Miller's] testimony is essential to determining whether Libby is guilty of crimes, including perjury, false statements, and the improper disclosure of national defense information."[10] In a footnote to that argument, Fitzgerald writes:

If Libby knowingly disclosed information about Plame's status with the CIA, Libby would appear to have violated Title 18, United States Code, Section 793 [the Espionage Act] if the information is considered "information respecting the national defense." In order to establish a violation of Title 50, United States Code, Section 421 [the Intelligence Identities Protection Act], it would be necessary to establish that Libby knew or believed that Plame was a person whose identity the CIA was making specific efforts to conceal and who had carried out covert work overseas within the last 5 years. To date, we have no direct evidence that Libby knew or believed that Wilson's wife was engaged in covert work.
NOTE THE CAVEAT...."TO DATE".

In the February 15, 2005 ruling on the issue, the court's opinion stated:

As to the leaks’ harmfulness, although the record omits specifics about Plame’s work, it appears to confirm, as alleged in the public record and reported in the press, that she worked for the CIA in some unusual capacity relating to counterproliferation. Addressing deficiencies of proof regarding the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, the special counsel refers to Plame as “a person whose identity the CIA was making specific efforts to conceal and who had carried out covert work overseas within the last 5 years

thank you. good work.

The very fact that THERE IS

The very fact that THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION points to the validity of a crime. If everything is as hvdc22 and JPN delusionally believe is true than the case would have been thrown out months ago.

exactly!

The investigation would have been aborted early on if there wasn't reason to continue. I'm ready to see some of the republicans go down in flames, high time.
Stay strong people!
M_A
I don't have issues...I have the whole bloody subscription!

What really bugts me

is that the people who continue to support the administration in this don't argue about the reason for the but only whether it was legal. The sole purpose was to punish a man whose professional opinion differed from what the administration was promoting. That makes it WRONG. end of story

Annnd...

..........they attacked a guy who told the truth and revealed their lie by attacking his family, his wife. That is the LOWEST slimy kind of scumminess. It is most revealing about Bush/Cheney/Gonzales/et al in this administration. Chickenshits.

William Gladstone, 4-time Prime Minister of Great Britain.

repubs say mary mccarthy is guilty

but libby and rove deserve a presumption of innocence.

perjury?

The only new issue in the CIA leak probe known to involve Rove is a contact his lawyer, Robert Luskin, had with Time magazine reporter Viveca Novak.

The contact is important because during it, the Time reporter told Luskin that Rove might have disclosed Plame's CIA status in 2003 to another Time reporter, Matt Cooper.

The Luskin-Novak conversation occurred many months before Rove belatedly revealed to the prosecutor that he had spoken with Cooper. Rove says he'd forgotten about his conversation with Cooper.

Rove's legal problems stem from the fact that it was more than a year into the CIA leak investigation before he revealed the Cooper conversation.

Here's some name calling for ya

"hey mr group think/lockstepping thought police nazi"

Wow, first now you are a hypocrite. Second, the terms "group thingk" "lockstepping" and "thought police" and "nazi" are the things we are calling you and do not apply to liberals. Whatever happened to liberals getting in a circular firing squad?

#1 Liberals are not the lockstepping sort. We have our own opinions and often disagree with one another, it is only the last 5 years of horrible government that have unified us like never before, though we are still far from lockstep.
#2 Liberals are the altimate champions of the freedom of speech, we are not thought police. On the contrary, we are the ones who oppose constitutional amendments banning flag burning, not because we agree with it but because we value the first amendment.
#3 Nazis were a radical right party. Liberals despise Nazis.

Now about your arguments.
Everyone else has done a very excellent job of showing that you are completely wrong, and since I believe you knew you were wrong before you stated incorrect information that would make you a LIAR.

"It was believed afterwards that the man was a lunatic, because there was no sense in what he said." "The War Prayer" by Mark Twain

nazis didn't like liberals either

i am proud to be a liberal.

repubs lie?

i'm shocked.

When it says Libby, Libby, Libby on the label, label, label

then we'll serve up the turd blossom on the table, table, table.

The "bringing integrity back" boys are acting like shipwrecked sailors in an overcrowded life boat.

Libby must be singing like a canary. Another pop culture reference (it was Godfather marathon weekend on AMC): Michael Corleone: Our people are all businessmen. Their loyalty is based on what's good business". And now it comes home to roost.

One of the con's bogus tactics is to argue about whether Shrub declassified the information in the NIE, therefore obviating Libby's possible leak. That isn't the charge against him. Libby's charged with perjury. 5 counts of it. Think maybe he flunked the loyalty test, and decided to throw Rove's corpulent body under the moving bus?

The real treat is going to be watching whether Bush's Brain decides to take the fall without Bush's Body. Wanna bet we "find" enriched uranium in Iran, Osama-Bin-Laden, another of Monica's dresses, the receipt for Vince Foster's murder by Hillary , and pictures of Ted Kennedy and John Kerry breaking into the oval office to steal files while Howard Dean is waiting in the getaway car on or about October 15th?

If they're worried about 154 centrifuges in Iran, wait till they get a load of how radioactive this White House crew is going to get in the next few months.

Wouldn't it be great if every night, the news could begin with the tones from Law and Order, then cut to the Felon of the Day?

YUK! YUK! YUK!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON ABOUT THE RIGHT DAVE.....BUT THE LEFT ARE ACCOMPLISES....IN SO MUCH ,I JUST CANNOT IGNORE IT.....BUY YOU ARE SO RIGHT....ABOUT THE RIGHT!

Songbirds can sing, but can they learn grammar?

Updated 4/26/2006 5:19 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) — The simplest grammar, long thought to be one of the skills that separate man from beast, can be taught to a common songbird, new research suggests.

Starlings learned to differentiate between a regular birdsong "sentence" and one containing a clause or another sentence of warbling, according to a study in Thursday's journal Nature. It took University of California at San Diego psychology researcher Tim Gentner a month and about 15,000 training attempts, with food as a reward, to get the birds to recognize the most basic of grammar in their own bird language.

Yet what they learned may shake up the field of linguistics.
