Today on the Huffin&Puffin Post, the unhinged Lawrence O'Donnell mischaracterized a statement by Karl Rove's attorney about the Wilson-Plame kerfuffle.
On Saturday, [Rove's attorney] Luskin decided to reveal that Rove did have at least one conversation with Cooper, but Luskin told the Times he would not “characterize the substance of the conversation.”
But according to the Washington Post, Rove's attorney was much more specific and unequivocal:
Rove's lawyer said Rove never identified Plame to Cooper in those conversations. More significantly, Robert Luskin said, Fitzgerald assured him in October and again last week that Rove is not a target of his investigation.
"Karl did nothing wrong. Karl didn't disclose Valerie Plame's identity to Mr. Cooper or anybody else," Luskin said. Luskin said the question remains unanswered: "Who outed this woman? . . . It wasn't Karl."
That's a pretty clear statement of Rove's position. Of course, we have no way to confirm if Rove's attorney's statement is truthful or accurate at this point, one way or the other. But it is quite clear that, in not even acknowledging Luskin's statement, O'Donnell egregiously lied about it.

By now it should be apparent to everyone, those rarefied individuals who believe they can get away with murder, simply degenerate into a more evil level. It is obeserved in professional sports characters, throughout our financial institutions, in industry and commerce, and even US Presidents. And its catching, look how easily CIA-Intel and Corp Interogaters got Military Doctors and common reservists involved in the torture and murder operations around the world. Mark my words, psychopathic disintegration in time only grows worse in these people who (literally) get away with (torture and) murder.
