Scratch the surface of any investigation in Washington these days, and it seems you will find Karl Rove. One of the few things Alberto Gonzales could recall at his Senate hearing on the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys was Rove's mentioning the names of three he thought were underperforming. Rove is at the center of the White House's lost-e-mail fiasco. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department is talking to Rove's former assistant as part of its probe into disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff's contacts with the White House.

"His understanding starting very, very early in the Administration was that those e-mails were being archived," the attorney, Robert Luskin, said. And already the White House's massive document dump is making useful headlines...
