I have one helluva loaded question (and I understand if nobody wants to touch it).

What if this were the Clinton administration, and somebody with the same position(s) as Rove talked to a Chinese agent, and said the exact same things that Rove told the reporter?

I have a different view than most people do of the Rove situation, because I spent a large portion of my adult life dealing with security and intelligence, and I don't treat those things very lightly. I don't care that he mentioned no names, I don't care that the agent and her husband were liberals, what I care about is the security aspect of this. It shows very poor judgement to be discussing such things, especially to a reporter of all people.

I agree Rove shouldn't have talked to the reporter the way he did (Hey W, the press and Teddy K are NOT your friends). But to compare that to leaking info to a "Chinese agent" is a stretch. Keep in mind he streesed to the reporter to keep it in double secret background, and was simply trying to mention Wilson's wife in passing to refute another point. The reporter used the info against his agreement in a hit piece on the Admin.

I've seen no evidence Rove specifically "outed" Plame or attempted to endanger her in any way. Her and her husband and the media were and are acting like partisan hacks.
