He was speeding, but you can't get him on that so it is ok to get him trumped up for spitting on the sidewalk, even though he didn't do it????
C'mon with the hypocrisy already, you've already proven to everybody that you are more genuinely commited to your cause than some of the others that just hate bush because they think its cool.

The injustice lies in my being deprived of seeing Rove in chains, dammit!
But seriously, if there is any injustice at the end of this affair, it will be in the media's willingness to accept the administration's spin. Assuming the evidence won't support an indictment, then Rove will avoid prosecution and the Tim Russert crowd will just play along with the administration's claim that the whole affair was a left wing witch hunt. But what ever happened to W's pledge to bring honor back to the White House? So now being a non-criminal is all you need to be a leader in this administration? Rove may not be a criminal, but I don't see how the country benefits from his spreading around the identity of covert CIA agents. The injustice lies in the Republicans getting political advantage from conduct that is, IMHO, scummy.
The good news is that Fitzgerald seems to be such a straight shooter. I've heard a few people say that because he has put so much effort into this investigation, he will feel compelled to indict somebody. I don't think that is true. If he lives up to his reputation, the matter will be as fully investigated as the Constitution allows and that's all. There won't be any indictments returned just so he can save face.
