"
Sounds like Rove."

As I understand it, it's legal for Rove to talk about his own testimony.

Rove was asked by the prosecutor not to discuss his testimony in public.

During one of his grand jury appearances, Rove was shown testimony from Libby suggesting the two had discussed with each other information they had gotten about Wilson's wife from reporters in early July 2003.



Rove responded that Libby's testimony was consistent with his general recollection that he had first learned or government officials who had talked with reporters. Rove testified that he never intended any of his comments to reporters about Wilson's wife to serve as confirmation of Plame's identity.

Rove "has always clearly left open that he first heard this information from Libby," said one person directly familiar with Rove's grand jury testimony.

This is what many of us speculated originally..........that is was reporters who mentioned Plame's name to people in the WH, not the other way around.

My guess is this info. has come from either Rove or Libby which is not against the GJ rules. My guess is they are fuming over the twisted spin on leaks coming from the left wing America hating Bush hating liberals

Rove's attorney said that Fitzergerald asked them not to comment on his testimony, and that they would honor the request.
