[i]. . . Rove's fate remains uncertain. He has testified that he talked to columnist Robert D. Novak and Time magazine's Matthew Cooper about Plame's CIA employment. . .


Should Carl Rove have his Security Clearance revoked?

Should Carl Rove have his Security Clearance revoked?

Rove cannot have his security clearance revoked because it's not been proven that he did anything wrong. In fact the indictments that did follow the three grand jury reviews were only for the possibility of perjury, for someone else.

When someone shows me the "stained dress" I might rethink my answer.



It's not clear that any information on Plame was classified or that he was a covert operative.

Actually Plame is a SHE. She's the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Her first name is Valerie. Just wanted to set the record straight.

Sorry....She.

Nothing wrong needs to be proven. The "Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement" only states that Classified Information cannot be repeated.


Rove admitted to talking about Valerie. And we know she was covert based of Fitzgerald’s press conference; where he stated the following:

“That brings us to the fall of 2003. When it was clear that Valerie Wilson's cover had been blown, investigation began.”

It's common knowledge that Karl Rove was diiscussing classified information with reporters - Rove himself admitted that.

What you seem to suggest is that it's ok to divulge classified information as long as you don't get convicted for it.

Is that what you are saying?
