‘Where’s Rove? Where are these other guys?’ Juror asks - MSNBC VID

The jurors who convicted I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby believed Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff was set up as a fall guy, a juror said Tuesday, but they had no alternative to finding him guilty in the leak of the identity of a classified CIA operative.

“I will say there was a tremendous amount of sympathy for Mr. Libby on the jury,” said the juror, Denis Collins, a former newspaper reporter.

“It was said a number of times: ‘What are we doing with this guy here? Where’s Rove? Where are these other guys?’ ” Collins said, referring to Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove, who was identified during the investigation as one of the senior officials who revealed the identity of the operative, Valerie Plame, to journalists.

1. Rove wasn't only identified during the investigation, he was

NAMED by the Defense Attorney in his opening statement as the person being protected, and that the defense would prove that Libby was being made the fall guy to protect Rove. There's no doubt the jury wanted to know whay that was in the opening statement but never mentioned again!
