If he is guilty of intentionally "outing" her, he should be fired.  If he is guilty of a crime, he should be jailed.  If neither is the case, everyone needs to insert foot in mouth.  And finally, when all is said and done, and Rove is found to be clear of any wrong doing, I say he should step down graciously, just to remove the potential lightning rod out of the White House.

So you support people who commit grand treason?

Do you mean "high treason?"

Well him saying that it was his wife qualifies & she was a covert agent. 

I have not seen anything yet showing Rove said Plame was a covert agent.  Reading the e-mails released to the public, there is nothing there other than Wilson received the mission from his wife, who was a CIA (note: nothing indicating covert) agent.

His attorney is obviosuly going to try & put the best face on this whole situation, we will see what happens, but the bottom line is he did release information regarding an undercover CIA agent & that goes against what the administration was syaing prior to this revelation

She was not undercover at the time she sent her husband to Africa, but rather an analyst for the CIA on WMDs.  She had worked undercover in the 1990s.

She was absolutely under-cover when she was outed.

She was undercover while working in Langley as an analyst?  I don't think so.  Unless CIA undercover agents make a habbit of hiding in the CIA headquarters . . . which might explain why we have a hard time getting good intelligence these days.

Valerie Plame was covert.

The CIA says: "If she was not undercover, we would have no reason to file a criminal referral".

The link works fine, and I love how the new talking points are to argue anything that can change the argument from Rove outted covert CIA agent Plame.

Please post either the whole article or the title of the article so I can find a mirror site.  The link does not work on my end.
