how come conservatives are not outraged about karl rove leaking the identity of a cia agent?

Answer 1

they can not accept the truth it is just that simple they never learned to read when the see the truth it passes right through them there mind is incapable of any knowledge that is not spoon fed to them slowly over years eventually takeing root .

Answer 2

Wasn't he just cleared of all wrong-doing in that incident?

Personally, I'm outraged about a lot of things. "Leaking" the identity of a CIA agent who had been out of deep cover for over half a decade is not high on the list.

Answer 3

Because despite the fact that he was deemed guilty before being proven innocent, he mentioned her name AFTER it had been declassified, her husband had been doing so long before Rove did, it was not done to cause her problems, he was CLEARED by the court, and she was no longer an undercover agent. It was no longer possible to "leak" her name as her name was no longer protected. People mention CIA agents all the time, their identities are not secret unless they are specifically assigned sensitive assignments. She was, but had long been out of that assignment.

Why are you not getting the facts and still calling it "leaking" when it wasn't? Are you trying to undermine our government and country?

Answer 4

Plenty of people in Washington new that Plame worked at the CIA, but she was not a covert officer. If her husband, Joseph Wilson, had not lied about who sent him to Niger, then Plame's name never would have come up.

How come liberals aren't outraged that Bill Clinton did nothing about the rising threat of Islamo-fascism, and let bin Laden and Yaser Arafat run free and commit mass-murder?

Answer 5

Because he did not do it?
Because she'd already been outed years ago during an erroneous leak during the Clinton administration?
Because she was using her position to harm the United States?
Because there was no harm done to the US, because she hadn't been covert in years?

Why aren't liberals outraged that some CIA flunky leaked about 2 programs we are using to fight terrorists, thus weakening our national security? Your lack of outrage about people undermining our ability to defend ourselves makes me question your concern for America. I definitely see your concern for the leftist neo-Dem party regaining power, but I don't see you caring how many deaths will be needed for that to happen.

Answer 6

Actually, President Bush gave the order to release the Agent's information. I'm shocked you haven't heard about that. You haven't heard Bush being called the Commander in Leak?

Pres. doesn't want to cooperate see article above.

Answer 7

Easy.. Because Rove is a Republican. Not to mention our president knew about it, and if the Republicans critisized Rove and such, they would have to critisize Bush too, which is the president and who.. well actually makes the Republican party worse, but still.. if he has a bad reputation, like he does, then so will the republicans, which they do.

Answer 8

As much as I am sure liberals would like to blame him he did not "out" anyone. There was no evidence the the CIA Agent in question was covert.

Answer 9

Because like most things, the issue is more complicated than the media would like you to believe.

Answer 10

Why don't people like you check their facts before they show their ignorance. He was not indicted and was cleared. Uh, what, a week or so ago? Keep trying, pathetic liberal loser.
