1. That looks like it might be about this Washington Note post-

2. It's this, and it's good news.

Armitage cooperated 100%. His testimony is the strongest evidence against Rove.

4. I think you are probably right

I am hoping for more info...

3. I don't get it

We have all known for months now that Firz has been seeking indictments for the coverup. Why do I keep seeing this old news pop up like it's something new. Libby wasn't indicted for leaking information.

6. What's new is Armitage cooperated and REALLY hurt Rove.

8. I want to see an indictment

I'm sick of all the speculation and false alarms. Rawstory is always putting stuff out that's vague and unconfirmed. It's like the rumor mill for Washington. Although I do believe Armitage is cooperating, I just don't believe any of it is news until we have some legal paperwork. New filings, testimony, indictment, press briefing, or anything really. We already know Fitz is looking at perjury, obstruction, etc.

10. This is by Steve Clemons. Not one of those other guys.

And Raw Story didn't touch the recent Leopold and Madden crap.

5. This is ludicrous; "firestorm?" jeeze.

11. how sensationalist do you wanna be

7. This Country Is A Fraud!

We're such a joke. I'm surprised the rest of the world isn't laughing at us. There is no honesty, no decency, no real freedom. We just put on this "act" for the rest of the world. Perhaps they'll never realize it's an act, for when they do, it may all come falling down.

Yet, we on DU sit here day after day, thinking we're right, that good will triumph over evil. That people who do illegal things will be brought to justice. But face it, that's never going to happen.

Lying, cheating, committing fraud to meet your own ends, that's what reality is these days. If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying. Sure, it's nice to be on the side of honesty, but where does it get us.

I'm sure we'll be here again in November, getting our hopes up, while those on the other side are busy figuring out illegal ways to get what they want. That's where the victories are, not with us, waiting and hoping for an indictment to rove, which is elusive and may never come. Someone explain to me why these people can't be dealt with in a responsible manner, and why we have to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait.......for them to be held accountable. I'm truly tired of evil being rewarded, while honesty and following the rules is tossed to the curb.

9. Since when is common knowledge a breaking firestorm?

Hype to the point of ridiculousness. Here's the LA Times from last July:

Published on Saturday, July 23, 2005 by the Los Angeles Times
CIA Leak Investigation Turns to Possible Perjury, Obstruction
by Douglas Frantz, Sonni Efron and Richard B. Schmitt

WASHINGTON -- The special prosecutor in the CIA leak investigation has shifted his focus from determining whether White House officials violated a law against exposing undercover agents to determining whether evidence exists to bring perjury or obstruction of justice charges, according to people briefed in recent days on the inquiry's status.


You simply cannot believe someone who trys to tell you this is a firestorm.

[Quixote1818]

14. Based on the luke warm response to this good news it's clear that

Leopold got our expectations so high that anything less than an indictment is anti-climactic.
