The question is: When did he know and how much did he know?

Because, if he knew, he was as much a part of the cover-up of the crime as Karl Rove or whomever else that might be charged. And did he know about the attacks on Joe Wilson when it happened or did he learn about it later? Looking at this from a criminal perspective, it is more important than ever that no crime be charged in the matter....otherwise...

Yet Mr. Bush has yet to address some uncomfortable questions that he may not be able to evade indefinitely.

For starters, did Mr. Bush know in the fall of 2003, when he was telling the public that no one wanted to get to the bottom of the case more than he did, that Mr. Rove, his longtime strategist and senior adviser, and I. Lewis Libby Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, had touched on the C.I.A. officer's identity in conversations with journalists before the officer's name became public? If not, when did they tell him, and what would the delay say in particular about his relationship with Mr. Rove, whose career and Mr. Bush's have been intertwined for decades?
