Rove's involvement in the Plame Affair

If Rove leaked the name of undercover CIA agent, Valerie Plame, to Robert Novak, he should be fired. Bush should not go back on his previous statements which to summarize stated that "he would fire any White House employee found to have leaked classified information" according to the NY Times.

Rove probably could not be criminally prosecuted for the leak because there lies ambiguity about whether he knowingly passed on classified information.

David Corn's, take.
Another prespective from conservative Powerline.
