Rove, Plame, Wilson, Bush

So I said that TalkDriving.com would be about driving mostly, but that the talk would be driven by anything under the sun. So proves the point... was reading about how Bush was really sticking to his guns about waiting for the results of the Rove/Plame disclosure investigation before making a decision on Rove's future. Bush said people shouldn't "jump to conclusions" about Rove before the investigation is complete.

Seems to me that there really isn't much room to jump to conclusions. It's pretty clear... Rove admitted to disclosing that Wilson's wife was a CIA agent and that she authorized Wilson's trip to investigate the Niger WMD connection as part of her job. Whether or not Rove knew she was covert or not or that he was "knowingly" disclosing a covert identity is irrelevant. Rove did reveal sensitive information. Not knowing the "status" of the information when he disclosed it should have given him pause especially considering the subject matter. It didn't and that raises questions for me on Rove's judgement, especially since he's in such as sensitive post. Who knows what other information he has inadvertantly shared.
