Scooter Libby Indictment

Does anyone really believe that Libby acted on his own--that is if he is the one that "outed" Plame. Who else could have been infolved in the act? Novak said it came from someone in the administration and a low-level type wouldn't have acted on his own to justify the war in Iraq. So if you use reverse logic it had to be someone who was high up and had a personal stake in our going to war against Iraq. Who were the most outspoken? Bush and Cheney campaigned the most but because of their positions would have left "dirty tricks" to their underlings, which points to Rove and Libby. Rove was fired before by a Bush for engaging in "leaking" information to Bob Novak. So Rove has a history for "tricks". Libby is characterized as a "zealot" and was in a possition to know "classified" information he didn't have a need to know. The media types, like Chris Matthews, keeps apologizing for those in the adminstration by repeatedly making it a question that outing a CIA operative was against the law. Revealing any classified information is against the law, everyone who handles classified information takes a loyalty oath that stipulates the consequences for anyone divulging classified info. One statement no one has made is; anyone revealing classified info is unfit to work in the White House--period. No need for parsing legalities there. Why was Plame outed in the first place? What was the intent? Trying to paint Ambassador Wilson as a "mama's boy'; that he couldn't get a job without his wife's help? Somehow that doesn't seem valid. The very fact that several reporters were given the same information about Wilson's wife being a CIA agent points to a very definite reason for doing so; i.e., not a casual "dropping" of a fact. What difference would it make to the uranium/Iraq thing if she was a CIA agent. If anything that would give more credance to his analysis if she was a CIA agent. The only reason left then is that "they", the Wislons, would suffer somehow. No one has countered his analysis, on the contrary, many have pointed out the unlikelyhood that Niger had uranium to sell Saddam in the first place, and even more significant, he couldn't have processed it if he had it. It is somewhat amusing to see the media chasing their tails--circular arguments chasing the false facts, followed up by faulty inferences.
