Karl Rove, Bush's top adviser, leaked a CIA agent's name, a federal offence. Why hasn't he been indicted?

Because this is a difficult crime to prove.  You have to prove the material was classified, that it had not been declassified by the President, that the person knew the information was classified, and that the person used their position to obtain classified information and then released that information to the media. Futhermore, if he obtained the information from a non-classified source, such a reporter told him, then he could reveal it. The Intelligence Idenities laws are extremely difficult to prove.  That is why no one has been indicted on them. Instead, Libby has been charged with perjury for atlerting his testimony to federal officers.  The chances of getting someone on this are slim, and I think are pretty rare, if its ever happened at all.

I think because this man was chosen by the present Government Administration there should be a public trial like O.J. Simpson's and Michael Jackson's. Fair is Fair!!! It's trials like this that open peoples eyes up to what is really going on in America today. Having a public trail would also shut up the Christian Conservatives; which I believe are the most corrupt of all, since they are trying to use God as their shield to corruption. Impeach Bush and his whole staff of warmongers. Free America in November.

Well, Karl Rove doesn't seem to understand the term "confidentiality", so he's out.\n\nDubya can't seem to get ANY job without the help of his dad, which leads me to believe the interview wouldn't go very well.\n\nCheney would probably be at the top of the list, except for the fact that he's the type of leader who expects his people to do what he's not willing to (check his draft record in the Vietnam war).\n\nI have to go with D:  None of the above.

Actually, I think it is a combination of people - Starting with Dick Cheney (Rove is just one of many 'advisors' who run this country) see the trick is to let the Prez think he is running the show.\nIn some ways it reminds of Spin City but on a National level

If Sierra Club had been successful in their suit against Dick Cheney....we might know the answer!!!!! Remember his meeting with Ken Lay....JUST before Enron's collapse and in the midst of Cali's energy crisis!\n\nThanks to a little duck hunting trip with Scalia...who refused to recuse himself from the case( 2 weeks before it came before the SC).\n\nThe reason why.....it's falls under national security....this administrations catch all for burying documents! It's disgraceful....especially for a govt that's supposed to be transparent.\n\nAnd while I agree there are certainly national security things that NEED to remain secret....this little incident occurred before 9/11.

Yes I do and I hope he implicates George Bush as Libby would not be stupid enough to do it on his own. Bush would! That's a no brainer.\n\nHow many before Libby have fallen on their sword for Bush?

Don, they not only bashed him for 8 years but they investigated his every move for the 20 years before. He was accused of everything that happened in America for those 20 years. If you remember what started out as an investigation into a business deal gone bad ended up with Monica. I to this day think she was a plant because they could find nothing else to get him on. He was even accused in Vincent Foster's suicide. Ron Browns Plane wreck and numerous other "crimes". We did not know what crime was until Bush took office and I for one will be on his case and those that voted for him and especially the mentally deficient that just do not get it, until at least 2 weeks after he leaves office. That is my duty as a patriot.

Because not everyone in the country beleives what is spoon fed to them by the media...we aren't all conspiracy theorists and don't publicly hang people without a trial.  If there was 1 shred of evidence to any of the conspiracy theories or "Bush lied" montra, the man would not be in office, he would be in jail.  Truth matters to many Americans, but that number is dwindling.

You mean Osama bin Bush?  We won't capture him either, he has divine protection from the CIA and the Bush Administration.  I find it very hard to believe that the CIA can't find him.

Of course he got away with it.  No matter what happened, GW would have pardon the creep anyway.  I beleive that Karl Rove and Cheney were directly involved and should be tried for treason.

I think this is serious.  Why has the FBI NOT FOUND the person responsible?  I get to wondering about conspiracies...

Nixon was not actually indicted in the criminal case arising from the break in at the Watergate.  7 men were tried for conspiracy to defraud the US and obstruct justice, wiretapping, and burglary.  All 7 men were part of Nixon's reelection committee.  After being convicted, one of the men told the judge that the Watergate break in and its cover-up were a massive conspiracy and that the defendant lied at the urging of the White House.  In order to investigate these allegations, the prosecutor moved for a "subpoena duces tecum" ordering Nixon to give the court tapes, memos and other papers relating to the incident.  Nixon claimed that he didn't have to give over the materials because they were protected by "executive privilege."  And things went really downhill from there.\nBasically, the most important witnesses were the 7 criminal defendants who were part of the conspiracy and knew that the White House ordered the break in and the cover up.  The tapes were just very dramatic proof of their story.

Good question. I strongly believe that our dear government knows where he is. Why haven't they caught him? Perhaps because it is to the US interest that he is not caught yet. The US govt always knows everything, but at times they pretend like they don't, so that they may allow their enemies on act on something so that the US can censor people, use documents like the Patriot Act and who knows, perhaps a National Marshall Law. Govts are shaddy.

I think this was his and Karl Rove's brainchild.  These  were two nerds that had visions of being in a position of power where for once they controlled things.  Unfortunately, instead of being friends with the football team and dating cheerleaders, they are getting back at anyone who opposes their point-of-view politically.  This was not only a dangerous, traitorous act but a juvenile prank and they should both be indicted for it.  They will probably not be found guilty but they should have to go thru the humiliation of having to stand trial. Plame, her family and all those operatives that have been jeopardized deserve nothing less from our judicial system.  I dont think that we will ever know all of the lives that this has affected.

Because Delay is a name that everyone knows. The media is not liberal or conservative (except fox news) they are just sensationalists. The story that gets the biggest wow factor is the one they will keep running. Also, there is less to talk about given that he is obviously guilty, whereas the Delay case could be debated by the pundits for hours on end.
