...Whether Karl Rove technically broke a law when he leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame [wife of Bush Administration critic Joseph Wilson] is beside the point [July 25]. Despite repeated denials by the White House, Rove talked about Plame to Time's Matthew Cooper as well as to Robert Novak, the reporter who blew her cover. So the President's deputy chief of staff was involved in revealing the identity of a covert CIA officer because her husband disputed George W. Bush's claim that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Niger. The President's right-hand...
...Here's the situation: Rove is the architect of Bush's successful presidential campaigns and of Republican congressional victories. The Democrats will do or say anything to destroy the conservative political genius. This "controversy" has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with party politics as usual.

...Lost in the cacophony of media attention surrounding Rove's possible misdeeds is one basic fact: in the buildup to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, this Administration misled the American people regarding Iraq's development of nuclear weapons. That important fact is now virtually forgotten. Meanspirited Novak, a shill for the political right, publicly outed Wilson's wife Plame.

And with the continuing diversion of public attention from the central issue of deception, the Administration is having things just the way it wants. Gregory J. Ryan Woodland Hills, California...
...even pose the question of whether Rove will pay the price for his role in the Plame debacle? Rove is a political strategist who knows precisely what to say?or not to say?to keep himself out of hot water. He knew exactly what he was doing with his campaign of innuendo and rumor. Unfortunately, somebody else is going to end up taking the fall for Rove's vindictiveness. Rove should be fired immediately, but it will be hard for the President to oust his most trusted adviser.

...media are making the Plame case far too complicated. Bush can no more fire Rove than dummy Charlie McCarthy could fire ventriloquist Edgar Bergen. Edmund C. Valentine Wabasso, Florida...
