Former Ambassador Wilson says Rove also deserves justice
Source: The New Mexican

Former Ambassador Joe Wilson believes “justice has been served” by Lewis “Scooter” Libby’s 30-month prison sentence for lying to investigators probing the outing of Wilson’s wife as a CIA agent.

But, in an interview Tuesday, Wilson — who this year moved with his family from Washington, D.C., to Santa Fe — said he’d still like to see Karl Rove “frog-marched” out of the White House for his role in revealing Valerie Plame’s covert identity in 2003.

“Frog-marched in handcuffs,” Wilson said.

...

Wilson said Libby “looked pretty pale” at his sentencing. Perhaps prison will give Libby time to reflect “on the futility of serving misplaced loyalties,” Wilson said.

While the president expressed concern about Libby’s family, nobody in the administration ever said anything comforting to or about Wilson’s family, Wilson noted. “All they’ve done is smear and engage in systematic character assassination,” he said.

3. The Wilsons aren't alone.
Most everyone is wishing the true violators were frog-marched in full public view out of the White House. Why is it we can come so close, but nothing ever happens. It's like a door slams shut to protect them.

When will the Wilsons be allowed to begin their hearing? How frustrating.

6. I'm living for the day that isn't photoshopped and is at least
buried on the 4th or 5th page of every newspaper in the country. (Front page would be too much to hope for.)

5. Tonight the slimy repukes at their hate-filled "debate"
repeated the rightwing lies about Plame - she wasn't a covert agent, it's ok to reveal the identity of a non-field agent...all bullshit.....as they tried to defend the indefensible.

It pisses me off to no end that Libby became the fall guy here while crooks like Rove and Cheney are no doubt laughing their asses off at having once again escaped unscathed.

7. It's beyond comprehension...
I'm glad they are on record spouting their bullshit. Gives us plenty of ammo... not that we should NEED anymore. Lying, treasonous rat bastards.

8. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Rove is there behind the smokescreen.
All the corruption and crime keeps tracking back to him.

10. No, Rove doesn't deserve justice...
...but fortunately for him, he hasn't managed to kill it yet, so it might save his corrupt ass. I don't think he wants justice.
