Bush needs to keep

promise, fire Karl Rove

It is well known that Karl Rove revealed the identity of an undercover CIA agent to reporters Matt Cooper of Time magazine and columnist Robert Novak.

Karl Rove either broke the law or was grossly negligent with national secrets yet he still works in the White House. Why?

Outing an undercover CIA agent hurts our national security.

George Bush should keep his promise and fire Karl Rove.

There needs to be a full accounting to the American people about what happened in this CIA leak case.

Karl Rove and other leakers in the White House outed a CIA agent in order to discredit a critic of the Bush Iraq policy. It is obvious that a very dangerous game — a vendetta, perhaps — of political manipulation. This kind of deviousness needs to be cleaned out of our government!
