White House "given" some breathing room...

by the Washington Post. In a relatively informative piece there seemed an attempt to shore up the administration, while posing minimal questions or contrasting sources. I wish I could be more strident or direct than that, but it leaves the impression that either Democrats had nothing to say or things are back to recent normal for journalism, sharing the lack of responsibility for checks and balances.

Meanwhile: "...Rove won't be charged with any crimes..."
"...frees him for election duty..."
But it seems clear it is not just "...the news media being complicit in the White House’s conduct." but in my view if he retains his job with the administration, that it was policy to out a CIA agent for political gain and mislead the public for political gain. The reasoning seems simple. Bush either condones someone who lied to him or for him or never intended to get to the bottom of it.
