...Karl Rove's colleagues don't know exactly when it will happen, but they are already laying out the reasons they will give for the departure of the man President George W. Bush dubbed the architect. A Roveless Bush seemed unthinkable just a few months ago. But that has changed as the President's senior adviser and deputy chief of staff remains embroiled in the CIA leak scandal...

Though Rove has not been indicted, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is continuing the investigation, and the situation will once again be under the spotlight on Thursday, when Lewis Libby is arraigned. Because of the roles Rove and Libby played in the CIA leak case, and the White House's sluggish performance in the last weeks, some Republicans are saying Bush needs to get new advisers. Kenneth Duberstein, who served as Reagan's chief of staff, said on NBC's Meet the Press...
