I don't see Rove wriggling out of this. But he will try. For now he is hiding behind his attorney. And you notice the rightwing is panicking and trying to smear Joe Wilson, Plame's husband, the victim in this case. They always try to smear the victims. Like Grey Davis when Enron-Bush ripped California off, and like OJ's lawyers tried to depict Nicole as a cocaine addict who was murdered by Colombians.

>>IMPEACH BUSH now!!<<

There are valid grounds for this now:

US Lieutenant-General Michael Moseley has said that in 2002 and early 2003, allied aircraft flew 21,736 sorties, dropping more than 600 bombs on 391 "carefully selected targets" in Iraq BEFORE the war "officially" started on March 19, 2003.

These nine months of allied raids "laid the foundations" for the allied victory, General Moseley said. They ensured that US and Allied forces did not have to start the war with a protracted bombardment of Iraqi positions. A total of 21,736 sorties were flown over southern Iraq between June 2002 and the beginning of the war. This makes it clear that many thousands of those attack sorties occurred BEFORE the US Congress authorized the use of force (contingent on a UN resolution) in October 2003 and BEFORE the UN passed a resolution (which did NOT convey a final authorization to resort to force) in November 2003.

The United States executed a deliberate, purposeful bombing campaign against Saddam Hussein's Iraq beginning in May 2002. These air operations had no basis in international law and constituted aggressive acts. Nor did these air operations have ANY Congressional authorization. President Bush initiated hostilities a full TEN months before his administration determined that all diplomatic means had been exhausted and six months before Congress had actually approved the use of force. By the Pentagon's own admission, it carried out seventy-eight individual offensive air strikes against Iraq in 2002 alone. The US official Iraq invasion began on March 19, 2003.

Right here are the VALID grounds in international law for the full reopening of the Nuremberg Articles and the public trials of President Bush, and Prime Minister Blair for waging aggressive war in the same manner that the German leadership was charged after their defeat in 1945. US Lieutenant-General Michael Mosely's own evidence is amply sufficient.

The UN and its articles was established after the Nuremberg trials. In the case of Iraq, there was NEVER an authorization to initiate a military attack. That would have taken an additional UN Resolution. The Bush Administration never attempted to get such a resolution, knowing it would be vetoed.
