RW LTE in SeattleTimes-Rove only corrected a reporter!
Advertisements [?]
What the heck? Rove only tried to correct a reporter? He never told the name of Plame, just that she was working with the CIA? Wow. My head hurts.

The Times' "Pushing a war, punishing dissent" is typical biased, liberal press attempting to make the news, not print the actual news. Their printed view contains a number of errors and another attempt to smear the president. What is wrong with printing the truth, just once.

Karl Rove broke no laws. He attempted to tell a Time magazine reporter that what he was writing was in error. Rove never told him the name of the CIA employee, only that the individual was employed by the CIA. At that time, he didn't even know the name of that person.

We now know that Joseph Wilson was a former ambassador and had been by his wife to go to Niger. Both she and her husband were, and still are, very liberal Democrats and would, and will, do anything and say anything, that will cause the president a problem.

Wilson either lied to or misled the CIA about Saddam Hussein attempting to obtain materials to be used in nuclear weapons. He claimed that this information was incorrect. He has been proven wrong by the British and Israeli governments. To paraphrase the editorial, one must not lose sight of the fact that the majority of The Times' readers are liberal Democrats, but that should not prevent The Times from printing nothing until it knows the facts.
