Ex-Intelligence Officials Rap Rove - Boston Globe
Write Bush, urge him to suspend security clearance

WASHINGTON -- Sixteen former CIA and military intelligence officials yesterday urged President Bush to suspend the security clearance of his top political adviser, Karl Rove, following revelations that he played a role in outing CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.

''We are asking that you immediately suspend the clearances of all White House personnel who spoke to reporters about affiliation with the CIA. They have mishandled classified information and no longer deserve the level of trust required to have access to this nation's secrets," the former officials, some of whom were covert operatives, wrote to Bush.

Rove, who spoke to at least two journalists about the issue, hasn't been charged with wrongdoing in the case, but is believed to still be under investigation.

And...

''If you take these steps you will be sending a clear message that your first priority is the nation's security, rather than your aides' well-being," they wrote.

As a liberal, you know you're through the looking glass when you're rooting for CIA officials, former or not, LOL!!!

5. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but damned if they aren't turning
Makes me proud to be an American.
Not to mention, the Internet has played a major role in getting the truth out. To be honest, sites like DU helped me see through the bullshit.
