The Ambassador Wilson Affair:
The End of Karl Rove -
And George Bush?
By Al Martin
9-3-3

This is the hottest and most explosive story behind the scenes in
Washington in terms of how it could affect the Bush administration.

Ambassador Joseph Wilson has been turning up the heat in this situation. He
revealed on Friday August 29 in a symposium in Washington the person in the
Bush administration, who had leaked it out to the Washington Post that
Wilson's wife is a CIA agent of 26 years. As a consequence of this leak,
her entire team of overseas assets were liquidated.

The leaker, it turns out, was none other than the notorious Karl H. Rove,
Bush's so-called White House advisor. Ambassador Wilson identified him as
Karl Roverer, with the umlaut over the "o."

According to reliable sources, as well as our own Al Martin Raw.com
investigation, Karl Rove is, in fact, the grandson of Karl Heinz Roverer,
the gauleiter of Mecklenburg, who was also a partner and senior engineer of
Roverer Sud-Deutche Ingenieurbüro AG. They built Birchenau, the
concentration camp in Nazi Germany.

So Karl Rove has been identified as the leaker responsible for the deaths
of more than 70 CIA assets overseas (See previous story "Will the Real
Chemical Ali Please Stand Up? The Curious Case of Ambassador Joseph Wilson)

When Ambassador Wilson was asked how he knew it was Rove, he had documents
in his possession identifying Rove as the leaker from a secret
investigation of the State Department's Internal; Security Unit. It was a
from a small clique, four Clinton holdovers in that department of the State
Department that were sympathetic to what had happened to Wilson.

These investigations could not have possibly been made without at least the
tacit acquiescence of Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Wilson has announced that he will have his private attorneys petition the
Department of Justice demanding that Roverer a/k/a Karl Rove be prosecuted
under the 1982 Intelligence Identity Protection Act . This law specifically
supposed to prevent what has happened in this case and that is the Bush
administration attempting to retaliate against a senior government official
who tells the truth about that administration by revealing the identities
of intelligence members within their own families.

This is a law that was specifically designed to prevent this from
happening. It is a law that was proffered by the Democrats in 1982 that the
Republicans fought and could not defeat. The law carries an automatic
mandatory 10 years to life imprisonment as punishment.

And where would Rove go? Karl Rove, it should be noted, is a dual citizen
of the United States and Germany. Because of his position he has special
diplomatic status. The idea is that if its absolutely necessary he could go
to Switzerland where he couldn't be extradited.

The law specifically states in this case (and this depends on how much
Secretary of State Colin Powell is prepared to get involved, if he signs a
formal complaint from the State Department, then the Attorney General has
no choice but to prosecute. He is required to prosecute, even if he doesn't
want to do so.

This is very explosive and what makes it so explosive is that this
Intelligence Identity Act, if it can be proved, and Rove can be
successfully prosecuted and if Rove reveals that the president George Bush
told him to institute this leak, then the President's automatic shield of
immunity is removed and the president himself can be prosecuted for murder
if any deaths of any US intelligence agents or assets resulted from the
leak. This is the only legal statute that has this provision.

The Bush Administration is exerting enormous pressure on Colin Powell
because he is the real linchpin. They are exerting pressure on him NOT to
proceed to file a formal complaint with the Department of Justice.

Wilson's problem is that he has no greater legal standing than that of a
private citizen. The Department of Justice, unbeknownst to anybody, has had
a lot of communications with Wilson's attorney and they're claiming that
Wilson has no special status, that he's just an everyday citizen, so that
any demand he would make for prosecution would carry no more weight than a
private citizen or OFU.

(OFU is George Bush Senior's term to describe the average American citizen.
It stands for "One Fodder Unit.")

Wilson is saying, however, that when Rove leaked this out, he was still
formally employed by the State Department. Wilson, it should be remembered,
was the former ambassador during the Clinton Regime, was formally rehired,
and he received a paycheck from the Department of State. When these leaks
took place he still had another three weeks left on his contract. Therefore
he was still a United States Ambassador and that apparently is also a key
legal point.

When this goes before the US Court of Appeals in Washington and if the
court agrees that Wilson was a formal ambassador at the time, then Colin
Powell can not refuse to formally petition the Department of Justice for
the prosecution of Karl Rove and to open an investigation into the
president's and vice president's role in the affair.

Was Rove really the source of the leak? The investigation held thus far by
the State Department's Internal Security (ISD) has stated that Rove did
indeed leak the information out about the Ambassador's wife, CIA agent
Valerie Wilson, to the Washington Post. Apparently they have an affidavit
from the reporter he leaked it to.

The way the Bush Regime is trying to quash it is to slow it way down by
exerting so much pressure against Pro-Bush Media. Please note that you have
not heard one word about this on CNN or MSNBC or Fox News And not one word
about this on ABC, CBS, or NBC.

If there is no public attention, there will be no steam behind it. Some of
the congressmen are trying to push this into higher quarters. They're
trying to get Howard Dean to talk about it since he's getting so much press
coverage

It's been said that Dean is himself frightened to start talking about it
because it would diminish the press coverage he's been getting. The Bush
Administration has let it be known to the Democratic National Committee
that any Democrat who tries to push this will find press coverage severely
limited.

When the Democratic presidential selection process filters out (since there
are now nine declared Democrats) and when there is one Democrat that
everyone is behind, who's going to be the contender, then they won't be so
frightened.

But this is a story, which should be more widely known, since the treatment
of Ambassador Wilson and his family (not to mention the US intelligence
assets who were liquidated overseas) is certainly one of the most egregious
abuses of power yet perpetrated by the Bush administration.

Yet. However, who knows what they might do tomorrow?

It is the day after -- Happy McLabor Day in the Land of Bushonomics.

As reported by CNN --

* 9 million unemployed in the US, and increase of 6 million since election
of Bush-Cheney

* 4 million high paying tech jobs permanently lost

* Another 3 million tech jobs to be exported overseas in next 15 years, but
the good news is that 3 million new minimum-wage food-service jobs will be
created in the US over the same time period. Happy McLabor Day!
