Hmmm. The Washington Post reports that Karl Rove is unlikely to be charged in the political outing of a CIA agent.
That's really odd, because we know that Karl Rove did it. And contrary to what wingnuttia maintains, Plame was undercover at the time, working on Iranian weapons of mass destruction, so yes, Virginia, national security was damaged for political reasons.
Did Rove cut a deal with prosecutors of some kind? You don't just appear before a grand jury five times without there being something majorly amiss. Or was Fitzgerald pressured? Does the investigation go so far that the prosecutors made a political decision to not proceed?
We await further developments. There are so many loose ends in this case, notably with the upcoming trial of Scooter Libby, that my gut tells me we will see more.
Update: the Wilsons will now sue Rove in civil court. It's time for some subpoenas to be issued.
