Rove Testifies in CIA Leak Investigation

Excuse me, but isn't the ultimate leaker Bob Novak?

Karl should of brought some ice cream, milk and YELLOW CAKE for everyone.

I'm confused. Is it being implied that Rove is the leaker? On NRO's the Corner, it's mentioned that McAwful was on CNN ranting that Rove is a traitor and that he has to release testimony that he is the leaker. I thought that the CIA/Dems set this up to blame Rove/Libby and undermine the war effort. Am I missing something?

Happened today, reported today.

The media can sure work fast when it's anti-Republican.

Gee, and only 18 days left until the election! What a coincidence. ;-)

That gives me an idea...my husband's birthday is today, and I think I'll make a YELLOW cake in honor of Karl doing a continued great job in service to our wonderful President and incredible country!!!

In my opinion, the Grand Jury is trying to get the name of the leaker by use of the back door since the reporters won't talk. They probably asked Rove if anyone approached him in an attempt to confirm the name and if they gave the name of the source?

They actually did find that Saddam bought Yellow cake from Nigeria so be careful as you don't want to have this reputation.

Sorry Niger. I am getting my countries in Africa all mixed up.

Of course -- you are being asked to forget about all the others called to give testimony (Tim Russert, NYT and Time reporters, etc., etc.) and to therefore draw the conclusion that since Rove was asked to testify, therefore he is the source of the leak.

We all know that Judith Miller, a NYT employee, would willingly risk jail time to conceal Rove as her source, don't we?

It's simple really, once you get the hang of it -- something like a self-inflicted lobotomy.

...and now, I've got my flour and my eggs in the wrong bowls!

The leak probably came from Wilson himself and then asked the reporters to Cover his A*s by confirming through the White House. The White House probably declined to confirm or affirm thus the reporters took Wilson by his word then claiming the White House confirmed the allegation, MSM mistake. Novak got conned by Wilson. Wilson's only goal was to make the President look bad and make no mistake about it, his wife was also involved.

No one cares about this anymmore. Joe and Val have been exposed as slimy, starf**** frauds. No one who poses for a celeb-f*** photo spread in Vanity Fair has any credibility complaining about being "outed."

[cgk]

That's what I thought. And is the time.com writer of this article related to him? How many journalist Novaks are involved in the Plame case?

[My2Cents]

How can someone "leak" something which pretty much seemed to be public knowledge. BTW, has it ever been established that the infamous Ms. Plame was actually a CIA "agent," rather than a mid-level analyst?

Rove Testifies in Wilson Leak
The president's advisor appears before a federal grand jury

(snip)
My client appeared voluntarily before the grand jury and has cooperated with the investigation since it began," said Rove's attorney Robert Luskin. "He has been assured in writing as recently as this week that he is not a target of the investigation."

"...has it ever been established that the infamous Ms. Plame was actually a CIA "agent," rather than a mid-level analyst?"

I don't think it has been, no.

Thanks for the info.
