Dems in a frenzy over Rove `leaks' By Boston Herald editorial staff Wednesday, July 13, 2005 - Updated: 08:57 AM EST Ah, the Democratic sharks are once again circling around presidential adviser Karl Rove for the alleged ``outing'' of CIA operative Valerie Plame. And when former presidential contender Sen. John Kerry insists, ``Karl Rove ought to be fired,'' well what more does anyone need to know? In August 2003 - a month after columnist Robert Novak disclosed how former Clinton administration official Joseph Wilson got his assignment to investigate Saddam Hussein's possible acquisition of yellowcake uranium in Niger - Wilson made his agenda clear: to ``get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs.'' That was the drumbeat then. This is the drumbeat now: ``The White House promised if anyone was involved in the Valerie Plame affair, they would no longer be in this administration,'' said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). ``I trust they will follow through on this pledge. If these allegations are true, this rises above politics and is about our national security.'' National security! Joe Wilson's official biography on the Website of the Corporate & Public Strategy Advisory Group says, ``He is married to the former Valerie Plame.'' Rove insists he ``didn't know her name and didn't leak her name.'' The e-mails turned over by Time magazine confirm that. Rove told Time that reporter Matthew Cooper Wilson's wife ``apparently works'' for the CIA and that she was the one who authorized his trip to Niger - not higher-ups at the CIA or State. What congressional Democrats also forget in their feeding frenzy is that the 1982 law, making it a crime to ``intentionally'' disclose the identity of a covert agent, also requires ``that the United States was taking affirmative measures to conceal such covert agent's intelligence relationship to the United States.'' At the time Valerie Plame was a desk jockey in Langley, Va. Of all the bogus charges Democrats have thrown at Karl Rove, this one really takes the cake - oh, make that yellowcake.

They are shutting their borders? What does that mean? Is it to general travel with visas or to immigrants? Are they targeting Muslims?

RE:"What do you think about the French and Italians closing their borders?" Sounds like they are smarter than the USA.

Re: What do you think about the French and Italians closing their borders? LOL... I'm afraid you took it amiss. France (and Italy) is not "closing her borders", France is not buidling an Iron Wall along her borders... There's no French San Diego's to fence off from Tijuana skunks. What it means is that random checks will be carried out by highway patrols and customs officers. So far, Germans, Belgians, Spaniards,... travelling to France by car were not stopped by the French police --unless, of course, they were suspected of illicit business (like importing drugs from Holland). Only (trailer) trucks are still routinely checked.... Gus
