Rove provided new information to Fitzgerald during eleventh-hour negotiations that "gave Fitzgerald pause" about charging Bush's senior strategist, said a source close to Rove. "The prosecutor has to resolve those issues before he decides what to do."
"New information" and "those issues". Hmm. What new information could Rove have provided to give Fitz "pause"? National security? Or maybe something to do with the roles of Kristof, Pincus, or other journalists.
Meanwhile, Celebrity Joe Wilson will be a very popular TV guest this weekend, no doubt telling us how sorry he is for America and how many death threats Valerie has received. That's terrible. I sure hope they weren't exacerbated as a result of their Vanity Fair cover.
Let's keep something in perspective in this mess. Saddam was a bad guy, no matter what Wilson said about Niger. Personally, I would have been in favor of taking him out without the spectre of nukes due to everything else. Also, is there any doubt he would have manuevered the UNSC to drop sanctions and reconstituted the program? Cheney was witness to how far along his program had come after the Gulf War when everyone thought he was 5-10 years away. They had technical know-how on hand. Add to that the Butcher had several countries and thousands of people bribed. Taking him out was hardly a poor decision in a post 9/11 world.
The Bush-haters, in their quest to retake DC, might just screw the pooch for everyone by continuing to politicize the War on Terror. And make no mistake--Iraq was, and is, a part of the WoT. There is much here we aren't being told.
