We Was Used!

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Media, The Plame Game

That’s the conclusion of Truthout.org in their non-apology/explanation to their readers.

Yes, it does appear that Truthout was used, but not lied to or misled. The facts appear to have been accurate. We reported them, and in so doing, apparently became an instrument. From all indications, our reports, first on May 13 that Rove had been indicted, and then on June 12 when we published case number “06 cr 128,” forced Rove and Luskin back to the table with Fitzgerald, not once but twice. They apparently sought to avoid public disclosure and were prepared to do what they had to do to avoid it.

So what did Rove and Luskin supposedly give Fitzgerald?

Truthout supposes that it’s information about Dick Cheney…

Our sources provided us with additional detail, saying that Fitzgerald is apparently examining closely Dick Cheney’s role in the Valerie Plame matter, and apparently sought information and evidence from Karl Rove that would provide documentation of Cheney’s involvement. Rove apparently was reluctant to cooperate and Fitzgerald, it appears, was pressuring him to do so, our sources told us.

Ahh, to be a fly on the wall in Truthout’s office.

I wonder what the Kool-Aid tastes like…
