Why not? America has all the money in the world. Everybody should be tried for one reason or another.\n\nAt least we will be busy.

karl rove leaked a cia agent and your not angry, but your angry about a ny times story that tells us what we already know? misplaced anger or ignorance. i say both.

In the course of this program being published in the New York Times, the Bush administration has had to speak publicly about the facts that there is a Classified program that helps the US to listen in on 30 international phone calls between reasonably suspected terrorists and people on US soil. I believe that this leak is not helpful to anyone by telling the public about it. The government official who leaked the information will likely be tried for their crime and with any luck the Bush administration will fix their leaky ship.

Its hard to say because any leads would be highly classified by the government. Stopping a terrorist would be a great boost in support for the Bush administration, however releasing such information could pose a threat to national security. Although they did release info on the terrorist who was planning to attack LA, who was stopped by a Canadian border official. That didn't have anything to do with the Patriot act though, as the offical stopped the man on a hunch.

And what about that CIA lady that Rove had killed cause her husband was a critic?  Oh yeah he denied it..so it must not be true...lol.\n\nWhat happened to the guy Cheney shot while hunting with their mistresses?\n\nThat story kinda disappeared.\n\nAnd what IS the deal between Bush and Rice?  lol  cant get that image out of my mind (true or not its just funny)\n\nRemember when the nazis get mad and call names its cause your point hit home.  Maybe one will disagree respectfully?  Not likely...but would be a nice change.\n\nbtw. Liberal simply means free...Con means trick.\n\nPS  just read Larry's post....there it goes again the persistent view that Iraq was connected to the towers...where do they get this info from?  A couple of headlines and these people will want to invade anyplace and kill anyone.  The power of propaganda.\n\nLove your enemy good Christians.

very true....the way the media is trying to print every secret, every strategy...it puts people in danger, and is not stuff that needs to be public information at this time...let the military do their job.

If they were to be changing the name of the agency it would be part of the public record.  As far as I know there is no change supposed to occur to the FBI's current name.

Because the prosecution against her was wrong.  She was charged with lying about something no reasonable person would remember.  Liberals used the same thing against Scooter Libby and other Republicans.

I didn't know that, I hope I can find out who it was too. He must have really messed up if it was on the news.

It was the CIA's fault, they gave him false info on where the quail of mass destruction's were!

Just because the press isn't reporting it doesn't mean it's not happening. Rest assured, if he so much as steps out of his cave to take a leak one of those CIA drones will see him and turn him into a red mist.\n\nAnd no, finding him will not bring the troops home. He is one of many terrorists we still have to kill.

When I first heard about the outing of a covert CIA agent, the wife of one of the most out-spoken critics of Bush's wanting to go to war, I knew right then Bush was responsible.  Now Scooter Libby says his "superiors" told him to leak the info... You think the VP did this without the President's knowledge??? Of course not!  It's exactly the kind of down right "meaness" that Bush has been known for since he was Gov. of Texas...We go to war without provocation for the first time in history.  We torture prisoners for the first time in history.  The destroying of the enviornment, 8 trillion deficit, Katrina...If Bush manages to somehow not be impeached, at least history will be the judge of this presidency!\n\nIn answer to below... it is against the law for a government official with access to classified information to expose the identify of a covert CIA agent.  It puts the life of the agent and the lives of those they are working with or have worked with under-cover in danger.

In ny the woman is allowed to give video taped testimony so as not to have to face her alleged assailant.

Suspect that she'll "magically" be released. As a journalist, my nose itches when something is wrong and I have a REAL ITCH about Jill Carroll and what she's really been doing in Iraq for two years. I imagine most major security organizations have that same itch.
