Washington — U.S. President Bush supports Karl Rove, the White House said Tuesday, rebuffing Democratic calls for Mr. Bush to fire his top political adviser over his role in the leak of an undercover CIA officer's identity.

Mr. Bush ignored a question about whether he would fire Mr. Rove, and White House spokesman Scott McClellan said later that “any individual who works here at the White House has the confidence of the President.” Mr. McClellan said that includes Mr. Rove.

The White House's defence came after two days of intense questioning following the disclosure that Mr. Rove talked about the officer in a July 11, 2003, conversation with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper. Mr. McClellan had said in September and October 2003 that Mr. Rove wasn't at all involved in the leak of information about the officer, Valerie Plame.

Mr. Bush has said he would fire anyone found to have leaked Ms. Plame's name. An e-mail by Mr. Cooper that surfaced over the weekend in Newsweek magazine says Mr. Rove identified the woman as someone who apparently works at the CIA and that she authorized a trip to Africa for her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson. Mr. Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, says Mr. Rove did not disclose Ms. Plame's name to the Time magazine reporter. “The fact that he didn't give her name, but identified the ambassador's wife — doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who that is,” Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said.

5. Can you say "Vice President Rove"?

After all, Bush tends to reward those that make the biggest mistakes, with the biggest promotions. Their party sort of tests the limits of the Peter Principle.
