Reply #43: Very interesting "theory", Peace Patriot, and not implausible. My biggest qualm with it

is the concept of bringing Rove to Monterey to study his moves. Rove has enough of a trail and track record for the CIA (or anyone else who's interested) to "study" for years to come, so putting him front-and-center at a "debate" like this doesn't really add up. UNLESS they think that Rove, with his newfound TV celebrity status, might become garrulous and let some cat out of a forgotten bag.

My humble opinion is that the MIC is so firmly in charge that they no longer feel any qualms about even trying to hide it. They're confident that their lackeys, be they Democrats or Republicans, are above the law and answer only to them, so why worry about Rove being given public exposure in a positive way. He did their bidding so he gets the perks.

Still, it's disgusting that Rove is not shunned, blacklisted, and pelted with tomatoes wherever he goes.
