Personally, I find myself a bit irritated by the attacks against truthout. If they’re wrong, what difference does it make? If they’re right, good for them. My own intuition is that something big is happening, and that none of the parties involved want us to know what it is. That’s their perogative.
But speculating is our perogative.
I have no question in my mind that outing Ms. Plame was malicious, and part of the Administration’s standard operating procedure. I, for sure, have no question that the intelligence that was touted to get us into this obscene war was twisted, or even manufactured, by the Bush Administration. I have no question that Rove was involved. Rove is always involved. I expect that the motives for doing all of this were as sick or sicker than those of the crazy general in the movie, Dr. Strangelove. So, for me, all of this jockeying around is simply part of the chess end-game.
There comes a point in chess, where the only possibility of not losing is that the potential winner makes a mistake. I expect that Patrick Fitzgerald has a checkmate in mind, but is smart enough to know that with Rove, it ain’t over until it’s over, and even then it might not be over. Rove singlehandedly pulled out the 2000 election, a Herculean feat. He’s perfectly capable of doing the same thing here. When strategic, underhanded fighting is the only fighting you know, you bank on the fact that there’s always another angle. But, as for courage…
This one is Fitzgerald’s to lose.
