Bush’s case for invading Iraq.<br><br>The criminal investigation into who revealed Valerie Plame’s identity – and endangered clandestine operatives working with her – has been building for two years. But it is finally reaching critical mass with the disclosure that Bush’s political guru Karl Rove discussed Plame’s CIA work with Time correspondent Matthew Cooper in July 2003<br>Since the scandal has resurfaced in the past few weeks – as New York Times reporter Judith Miller went to jail rather than divulge her sources and Time magazine agreed to cooperate with Fitzgerald – the White House has refused to comment while letting the RNC and the conservative news media carry the fight.<br><br>On July 13, 2005, the Wall Street Journal editorial depicted Rove as not just a victim, but a hero. “Mr. Rove is turning out to be the real ‘whistleblower’ in this whole sorry pseudo-scandal,” the editorial said. “Mr. Rove provided important background so Americans could understand that Mr. Wilson wasn’t a whistleblower but a partisan trying to discredit the Iraq War in an election campaign.”<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Shrub et al will survive it they are allowed to as always. All the spin Meister's are trying to do is re frame the argument. Rove ran the little turds campaign on the platform of National Security. "Can't trust any other candidate with the security of the United Snakes of America, Bush is the MAN. Well, the monkey's top simian put your country's national security in the crapper for a adolescent vendetta and people need to keep their focus on that because that was/is treason. <p></p><i></i>
