For some time, Bush administration officials have expressed their outrage over the unmasking of a CIA operative and declared their determination to help find out who leaked her name to the press and then to fire that person. But now that there is a possibility that Karl Rove, Bush's top political adviser, is the leaker, the White House isn't talking.

1. Thanks for the link. Here's some more from this editorial

This sudden silence is unacceptable. It obviously stems from the very real possibility that Karl Rove, Bush's top political adviser, is the leaker or one of them. Rove's dodging in this matter, in fact, has been so transparent as to undermine his credibility.

The case involves Valerie Plame, a secret CIA official whose name was published in July 2003 by columnist Robert Novak. Not only is she a CIA operative; Plame is the wife of former ambassador Joseph Wilson IV, who had been sent to Africa by the CIA to check out reports - they proved baseless - that Iraq's Saddam Hussein tried to obtain nuclear material there.

2. not only is the White House not talking

all the bush whores are circling the wagons with their ridiculous talking points that now that rove has been revealed as the leaker (after hiding and denying all this time), it's not only not a crime due to technicalities but Mr. Wilson had it coming because he dared to speak out. When you think these bastards cannot sink any lower they manage to do it.
