Karl Rove, Domestic Spying, Top Secret Clearance and Politics

[Pryderi]

It sickens me as to what Rove could do with the access to information that he's had for the past 5 years.

[EST]

1. I seem to recall hearing, somewhere, Rove can't

qualify for ts clearance. Thats why his title was something like assistant to the assistant to bush.

[Pryderi]

2. I thought his clearance allowed him to get Plames information...

[EST]

3. Don't recall the context, but I think that was one

of the big sticking points. Although she was not ts/eyes only, he should not have been in possession of that info.
Yeah, I know, if a frog had wings...

4. I'm sure Karl has gathered tons of information for the future, regardless

of his clearance.

5. I, too, am sure you have it right.

He (and most of the rest of the criminals) has no concept of how to govern and keep a country thriving. They know only how to campaign, with a plethora of dirty tricks, and they, especially sub-furher Rove, are very good at that.

6. It could be...

his history of political dirty tricks: bugging hisown office, attacking opponents as pedophiles. How could you give clearance to a creep like that?

7. He probably blackmailed someone into giving him clearance.
