Rove, Libby identified CIA officer

Now, even if these idiots are able to weasel out of any criminal charges by saying that the reporters knew first, or someone else leaked it before they did, or whatever, what the fuck are they doing confirming the information? Why wouldn't they just give a no comment response, we all know they know how to do that. Well, we all know why, because they wanted this information released to retaliate against Wilson. But, the press and the public shouldn't let them off the hook with their lame semantic arguments, they should be demanding to know why they would ever under any circumstances confirm information like that. Assholes.
