Zink, try a little logic.

If Rove was the leak, do you think the MSM would not have passed the info along to the kerry Camp in 04 to torpedo Bush?

When you look at it that way, you see that Rove cannot be the leak or they would have used that a long time ago against him.  After all, the MSM hates Rove.

But this is all play anyway.  The leaker was Joe Wilson himself.

Deal with and only with the very real issue of an act of treason which jeapordized an American agent's identity and by extension their life. Rove didn't commit treason because someone was a Democrat. Rove didn't commit treason because someone was a Republican. He did it as a punishment directed at someone who crossed his political line.

Who are you talking about being blind? You are saying Rove committed treason with no proof. Why? Because of your blind hatred for Bush and anybody around him.

I asked for proof and not one person has provided a single piece of evidence showing Rove did anything wrong, or anything at all for that matter.

Something else I find interesting is that people have already convicted Rove, but Sandy Berger gets caught red handed stealing top secret documents, and it's swept under the rug by the media. Tell me there is no liberal agenda again.

It's really unfortunate people can be so ridiculous and deliberately blind. Of course the serious crime of outing a CIA agent is on the backburner.

Since she was not an Agent, but only an annalist (i.e. department staff, not field officer), a trial for treason would be out. Whoever it was, they would just be subject to all penalties related to releasing "Confidential" information. Something far from "Top Secret", or "Secret".

I personally don't think it was Rove for one simple common sense fact:

1. The event in question happened in 2003.
2. Those who are pointing the fingers now, claim to have known since 2003 that it was Rove.
3. Every one claiming now to know it was Rove, are all vocal flaming left wing liberals.
4. We just went through a knock down, drag out fight for the presidency.
5. Why did they not say something at the ultimate moment to bring Bush and his campaign manager down?

It just does not make since why these ultra liberals didn't slam Bush at the best time to do so.

What have you read? An "analysts" opinion. As most accusations against Bush, Rove, and the other people the left hate the most, you have absolutely no proof of your accusations.

Proof is just an unnecessary inconvenience, ID. Just ask Dan Rather. All that matters is the charge and the "issues the charge raises."

Proof of wrongdoing (probably qualifying as treason in some respects) is documented and admitted by Berger but the left just dismisses going after him as nitpicking by the "vast RWC."

This whole thing is just a continuation of the failed tactics used by many in the runup to the election last November - hurl accusation after accusation, innuendo after innuendo, without factual foundation, and hope that something sticks or tars someone. How could Rove do anything that could possibly make him any more evil than the left already believe him to be? He was "convicted" by the left for high crimes (AKA "winning") long ago, as zink not so eloquently makes clear. The left is desparate for a scalp, any scalp, no matter. Their desparation just makes them look smaller and smaller. Not a statesman among them anymore.

One day he is sane, the next nuts! I placed him well on the cusp on the Liberal and the LLL

And the seriousness of the charges! Evidence be damned! It is the seriousness of the charges!

Who else said that? Hmmmmm, maybe Germany circa 1940? Sounds like the Socialist in nationalist Socialist is coming home to roost!

If it turns out to be Rove or sone other very senior Bush staff member there are two very interesting questions. First, who, if anyone, directed them to leak the info? Second, what will Bush do if the source is convicted and sent to prison?

One day he is sane, the next nuts! I placed him well on the cusp on the Liberal and the LLL

When it comes to someone like Rove, the left hates him about as much as Bush, maybe more. You see how I have asked for proof several times and nobody responds. It's just like asking the col to prove one of his allegations without using polls.

Rove and no proof. It's so silly bordering on lunacy. We all know politicians do dirty deeds and this Rove is no different. You can't possibly be saying he's never done anything wrong ever. And Wilson himself. I kind of think your ignorance got the better of you. What a joke. Sentence 1. Don't judge Rove with no evidence (it's actually public knowledge now so someone who commented is on crack). Sentence 2. Ahhh Wilson himself did it....Speaking about proof with no proof to back it up? Followup please.

Like I've always stated, the party system is deliberate in its intent. Here we have an action of treason, and you idiots talk politics and sides and vendettas and all that shite. Maybe if you blind leading the blind would ONLY address the issue then something could be done about it. F**k the fact someone may be a Democrat, F**k the fact someone may be a Republican. Deal with and only with the very real issue of an act of treason which jeapordized an American agent's identity and by extension their life. Rove didn't commit treason because someone was a Democrat. Rove didn't commit treason because someone was a Republican. He did it as a punishment directed at someone who crossed his political line.

Please explain just how you see this as treason:

Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as: "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]."

Rove and no proof. It's so silly bordering on lunacy. We all know politicians do dirty deeds and this Rove is no different. You can't possibly be saying he's never done anything wrong ever.

I didn't say he's never done anything wrong. You accused him of committing treason. I asked for proof. You still have not provided it. Are you going to retract your statement now?

We all know politicians do dirty deeds and this Rove is no different.

So he is guilty of treason, because he is a politician?

Cool, lets start hanging all those b*#$ers. I'll bring the tar, you bring the feathers. Let’s start first in the New England area, those guys have been the worst for years.

Leave it to Gene to take speculation two hypothetical steps further. Just more of the same - never learns.

Leave to col to somehow fault Bush for it.

Probably true.  They hate what they cannot defeat in rational debate.
