Karl Rove 6-15-2006

15, June 2006 Karl Rove
The decision by special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, not to bring charges against Karl Rove comes as no surprise. The war on the freedom of the press and confidentially of news sources has been relentlessly pursued by draconian measures of intimidation. Confidential news sources and journalists are no longer willing to risk jail terms to report on the misdeeds and crimes of this administration. Does anybody still believe the public statements of President Bush who promised ‘zero tolerance’ and instant dismissal of any member of his staff who revealed the identity of covert CIA operator, Valerie Plame?  It is sad that Fitzgerald buckled under White House pressure to allow Rove to escape a long jail term. Valerie Plame, her husband, Joseph Wilson, and millions of Americans must be bitterly disappointed at the injustice of our present system of justice.
