Reply #68: I'm sure they've been cooperating since Day 1 - 03/30/03

the day the matter was referred by the CIA IG to the AG for prosecution.

Aces up Fitz's sleeve since the beginning of the poker match. When you think about it, there's no way that Dick, Libby and Rove were going to survive if they lied or told the truth. They knew it too -- they sacrificed themselves like an Infantry Regiment thrown against a Tank Division -- rear-guard sacrifice.

The sad thing is that the sacrificial delaying move worked -- Rove wasn't crazy at all to lie -- Bush-Cheney got reelected because the f!@#$%^ press refused to dig up the essential facts in this case, and go after the White House for outing Plame until after the election. Most of them are still pretending to ignore the obvious.
