"Unleash the Dogs of War?" or the Kitty-Cats of Love?
On his blog, Marshall Wittmann predicts that if Karl Rove is indicted, he will "unleash the dogs of war" against Plamegate prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. "Rove undoubtedly has his operatives in place and prepared to respond if the indictment comes down," Wittmann writes. "The plan of attack has been signed, sealed and ready for delivery at a Fox News outlet in your neighborhood.""All of the pack that relentlessly pursued Clinton," Wittmann continues, "will kvetch about the 'criminalization of politics.' They will see no irony or hypocrisy in their complaint..."
Now it may be that, if he is charged, Rove will indeed criticize the prosecutor. On the other hand, he might decide, as many defendants do, that there is nothing to be gained by angering the authorities. But whatever happens, we know that, during the two-year Fitzgerald investigation, neither Rove nor his colleagues in the Bush administration have: a) formed an organized crime-style joint defense agreement; b) asserted novel or nonexistent legal privileges; or c) claimed that prosecutors acted unethically or for political reasons. All of that was done by the Clinton defense team in the Lewinsky matter. And all of it was done while the Starr investigation was taking place and before any charging decisions had been made.

But that wasn't unleashing the dogs of war ... that was unleashing the kitty-cats of love ...
