Saturday, October 29, 2005 Freeper, Neo-Con, GOPer Spin on Libby Indictment Here's the insane spin of the GOPers and right-wingnuts - all of them are insisting that the whole thing is about to blow over and that if Fitz COULD charge anybody w/ leaking classified info then he WOULD have, and the fact that he didn't do it today means he never will be able to! I know this is hard for them to grasp... especially since they forced impeachment proceedings over a consensual extramarital blowjob... but this indictment, trial or other future indictments are not just about outing a CIA covert agent. It isn't just about any criminal acts committed by Libby and/or an ongoing investigation of Rove or other administration officials, or even about perjury, obstruction of justice, and upholding the law. No, this whole sorry episode is about a very simple fact and much larger truth: what illegal tactics did the Bush Administration employ when it lied to the American people and took this country to war against another country not responsible for the Sept 11th terrorist attacks AND the neverending WH campaign to squelch all criticism of this war. |
