Re: This story is growing legs
Let's me think a bit.
Deep Throat: There was a conspiracy to commit a crime, and the agency in charge of investigating was covering up the crime. So Deep Throat went public with the information to let the public know that there was a crime committed.
Karl Rove (allegedly): Didn't like someone who was informing the public that the information the Administration was supplying the public was false, so he leaked information that had no clear purpose but to punish the person by destroying his wife's career.
Seems to be a difference to me. Maybe if Rove leaked the information because he felt the CIA was a criminal organization and so outing the criminals involved is in the public interest, then I would consider him a hero. But leaking information just to punish someone as part of a political vendetta doesn't seem all that heroic to me.

Did you post this just for the subtitle?

Re: Featuring Alberto Gonzales in the role of Rosemary Wood
Hi, berberry.
What is the significance of this? I would have thought that destroying documents would be illegal whether or not the the White House counsel, or anyone else, formally reminded people of the fact, and that the White House staff would know this. Am I wrong in this?

Re: Featuring Alberto Gonzales in the role of Rosemary Wood
Yes, I realize people will do what they will; I was just wondering what relevance the timing of Gonzales' warning has. I was wondering if there were certain documents that could legally be destroyed without a formal notice that they might be relevant to a criminal investigation.

Time to change the subtitle.

I don't know; who'd of thought that GWB was even too stupid to understand the concept of plausible deniability?
