I find it sad that many Republicans are happy, even glooating, about this. Once again showing they don't mind being LIED to. I guess they got the leadership they deserve: A bunch of crooked manipulative liars, many who are zealots to boot.

Analysis: Telling FBI the Truth Saved Rove

The decision not to charge Karl Rove shows there often are no consequences for misleading the public.

In 2003, while Rove allowed the White House to tell the news media that he had no role in leaking Valerie Plame's CIA identity, the presidential aide was secretly telling the FBI the truth.

It's now known that Rove had discussed Plame's CIA employment with conservative columnist Robert Novak, who exposed her identity less than a week later, citing two unidentified senior administration officials.

Rove's truth-telling to the FBI saved him from indictment.

And by misleading reporters, the White House saved itself from a political liability during the 2004 presidential campaign.
