Default Re: Newsweek: Rove was the leaker

[ QUOTE ]
Article here.

From the article:

Cooper wrote that Rove offered him a "big warning" not to "get too far out on Wilson." Rove told Cooper that Wilson's trip had not been authorized by "DCIA"—CIA Director George Tenet—or Vice President Dick Cheney. Rather, "it was, KR said, wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on wmd [weapons of mass destruction] issues who authorized the trip." Wilson's wife is Plame, then an undercover agent working as an analyst in the CIA's Directorate of Operations counterproliferation division. (Cooper later included the essence of what Rove told him in an online story.)

This email was sent two days before Robert Novak broke the story.

If true, Rove has to go. He most likely has a pretty good legal defense here but the white house already made this a big deal (by agreeing to a special prosecuter and through the president's statements) so they should follow through.

Rove already served his purpose, this is just a bump in the road.
