Karl Rove and The Agent

This is getting good - "I" however, am betting Karl did nothing. The memo they released said he told the reporter basically to 'go easy on Joe Wilson as his wife works for the agency'. This is nothing, and did not reveal she was, as they say, undercover. Lots of people work for The Agency and can be viewed daily going to work.

This reminds me of a job I had years ago. For many of my fellow employees, it was their first experience in the sort of secretive work we were doing... accordingly, they would fall for anything their superiors told them, thinking one had to be extra careful because of what they were doing.

We were told once we walked out the door of the office to not associate with each other... so, if we walked out the door and walked down to the bowling alley for lunch, we could not sit together nor acknowledge each other....this of course made my blood boil, having worked in that level of security for approximately 15 years at the time. I said... um, do you think if Ivan sees us walk out the door together, he might just realize we know each other? What nitwits. Ah well, this Karl Rove story as it pertains to The Agency reminded me of the absurdity that goes on in that world. If, again, if the memo is nothing more that Rove told the reporter Valerie worked for The Agency, then Rove did absolutely nothing wrong. ON THE OTHER HAND - if Rove DID reveal Valerie was undercover, send him to JAIL post haste.
