Yes I could make a joke right here, but moving to his comments ... responding to the news that Karl Rove won't be indicted he writes - "It would be interesting to compare the false statements made by Rove and Libby to the investigators with the false statements made by Joe Wilson to the press and the public." [emphasis added]
Well gee Mr. Lindgren, if that's going to be the standard (and it's hard to imagine a more ridiculous one - lies to the public and lies to federal investigators aren't remotely the same thing) let's compare Rove's comments not just to Wilson's comments but to the lies publicly paraded at length in front of the American people by Messrs. Cheney, Bush and Rumseld, and of course Secretary Rice. I mean if the goal is to really see who is being mendacious ...
