Rove should be prosecuted

RTE Radio 1 Today show with Pat Kenny interviewed Karl Rove on March 22, 2010. Rove, a former member of the US' discredited Bush regime, is a right-wing advocate of torture, imprisonment without trial, and other human rights atrocities perpetrated under that failed administration.

In the course of the program, Rove gave out, live on the air, a detailed description of the floor plan of Air Force 1, including the precise location of the US President's cabin.

As a US citizen, I call for Rove's immediate arrest and prosecution, for publishing classified information, which he learned in his capacity as an employee of the US government, touching on the President's personal security: publishing it intentionally, in a manner calculated to increase risk to the current President's personal safety.

Rove is an aggressive opponent of the present Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Obama. He is an advocate of political assassination as a form of government; and an associate of agencies specializing therein. His shocking announcement of such high-level security data strongly suggests his involvement in secretive conspiracy to endanger the President.

It is shameful that this war criminal, culpable in mass murder, kidnapping, imprisonment without trial and other abominations which may never be known, remains free to wander about the EU as a celebrity chat show star.

Although such practices are never acceptable, in any case, however grave or difficult to prosecute, it is worth asking whether Mr. Rove shouldn't "enjoy" sudden arrest and transport to an undisclosed location, to be water-boarded daily without trial incommunicado, for an indefinite period. (The practices he advocates and has presided over himself.)
