(62,325 posts)Do you believe he was part of the conspiracy that outed Valerie Plame to get at her husband for exposing some lies they told about the Iraq War?
Do you believe he had anything to do with the firing of the US Attorneys because they refused to create false evidence against Democratic politicians in order to destroy them?
He fled to Sweden during the investigation into those crimes, btw and told Congress to go to hell with their subpoenas.
I am interested to know where you draw the line as to what might cause Rove to orchestrate smear campaigns against political enemies. I mean, it's not like it hasn't spent his entire life doing it.
But do you think he has reformed and would never try to destroy an organization like Wikileaks that exposed his boss's war crimes?
You do know the impact of the Leaks on the rest of the world don't you? They brought down a major crooked bank in Iceland eg, exposing the corruption of Wall Street in no uncertain terms.
They exposed pay for votes in India's government with Washington behind the scenes, nearly toppling that Government and exposing the US's role behind the scenes in India's and other country's democracies.
The list is so long of the negative effects of Wikileaks excellent journalist work on war criminals and dictators, often friends of the US around the world.
But you think none of this would be of any interest to Rove?
