Newsweek Hires Karl Rove - a War Criminal and Traitor

Newsweek editor Jon Meacham is pairing two new columnists: Markos Moulitsas (Kos) from the Left and Karl Rove from the Right. Here's Meacham's "justification":

Whether one agrees or disagrees with Karl, there is no arguing that he has been a critical player in the political world with insights and experiences that we think will give our readers something unique.

Kos is proud to be matched with Rove:

Newsweek actually got this right, for once. They balanced out a movement progressive with a movement conservative. In years past, Rove's "balance" would've been Bob Shrum. Now, they're apparently starting to realize the difference between a movement partisan and an establishment hack. 

but Kos is dead wrong.

It's beyond outrageous that Newsweek would hire a man who, as Chair of the White House Iraq Group, is as personally responsible as anyone else for the illegal and lie-based invasion of Iraq that has led to the violent deaths of nearly 4000 U.S. soldiers and over 1 million Iraqis so far, with no end in sight.

Would Newsweek hire one of Saddam Hussein's top deputies as a columnist? Saddam's illegal invasion of Iran in 1980 produced a comparable number of violent deaths

Rove also helped Bob Novak expose the identity of Valerie Plame, a covert CIA operative working to stop the spread of WMD's - an act of High Treason.

Gee Bob, this sounds like the pits to me...

does Kos have a college degree or are both of them(Rove/Kos)just high school grads?

A mind once expanded can never return to its original dimensions.

The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so.
