I think things are slowly catching up with Rove as well.

I have written about the administrations tactics several times. I have stated that the tactics were not "nice" and that it is possible that Plame is an innocent victim, although I don't think she is.
Eventhough the tactics of the administration were not "nice" they have not been proved to be illegal.
I have questioned several times on TFP why Fitzgerald never brought charges against the outing of Plame. I think the reason is because the law was not violated, I am not really clear on what you and others think. I know the standard to prove the case is high, but I don't see why that would matter when Fitzgerald has all the resources he would need to bring the case to trial.
Also, why not present the evidence to a jury and infront of a judge, create a judicial public record so everyone can see what the facts are relative to the law. Right now there is alot of speculating going on (I am willing admit when I am speculating), on both sides of this issue.
