Only 25% think bush is cooperating in leak probe!
ABC NEWS POLL: THE CIA LEAK INVESTIGATION – 7/17/05

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, July 18, 2005

Many Doubt White House Cooperation With Federal Investigation of CIA Leak

Just a quarter of Americans think the White House is fully cooperating in the federal investigation of the leak of a CIA operative's identity, a number that's declined sharply since the investigation began. And three-quarters say that if presidential adviser Karl Rove was responsible for leaking classified information, it should cost him his job.

Skepticism about the administration's cooperation has jumped. As the initial investigation began in September 2003, nearly half the public, 47 percent, believed the White House was fully cooperating. That fell to 39 percent a few weeks later, and it's lower still, 25 percent, in this new ABC News poll.

This view is highly partisan; barely over a tenth of Democrats and just a quarter of independents think the White House is fully cooperating. That grows to 47 percent of Republicans — much higher, but still under half in the president's own party. And doubt about the administration's cooperation has grown as much among Republicans — by 22 points since September 2003 — as it has among others.

There's less division on consequences: 75 percent say Rove should lose his job if the investigation finds he leaked classified information. That includes sizable majorities of Republicans, independents and Democrats alike — 71, 74 and 83 percent, respectively.

1. Geez, Mr. John Ashcroft sat on the case for how many days?
I mean what are people thinking, I do not think the American Public takes Treason lightly!

Repeat and repeat again: Rove and Libby and the people they work for are guilty of TREASON...

Stay on message and say no more.

2. I think Karl is in big trouble. So is his boss.

When the Repulicans turn on you Bush knows he is in deep do-do.
Karl Rove would tell him to fire the offender, if it were not himself. Bush will come to that conclusion himself.
