29. From TO..... TODAY!!! "The story is accurate..."
How Accurate Was the 'Rove Indicted' Story?

On Saturday afternoon, we ran a breaking story titled, "Karl Rove Indicted on
Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators." We assumed that we were well ahead
of the mainstream media and that we would be subsequently questioned. Right on
both counts.

What everyone is asking right now is how accurate is the story? Has Rove in fact
been indicted? The story is accurate, and Karl Rove's attorneys have been served
with an indictment.

In short, we had two sources close to the Fitzgerald investigation who were
explicit about the information that we published, and a former high-ranking
state department official who reported communication with a source who had
"direct knowledge" of the meeting at Patton Boggs. In both instances,
substantial detail was provided and matched.

We had confirmation. We ran the story.
