Here are three articles about Rove on the same page at Truthout.

From Joe Conason:

Even as Matthew Cooper of Time and Judith Miller of The New York Times both face prison time for protecting their White House sources, a question arises that the indignant Washington press corps seems to have forgotten to ask: Why hasn't the President of the United States tracked down the officials who leaked the CIA identity of Valerie Plame Wilson, fired them and turned them over to the special prosecutor?

I assume that's a rhetorical question. We know damn well why: Because he's a moral coward. He isn't about to out his Machiavellian brain because then he'd have no one to do his thinking for him except Cheney, and he needs all the help he can get to keep his little charade going as long as possible. Bush has absolutely no acquaintance with the truth and no guts to go against the demons who put him in power, not that he would want to. He has power, but no will to do the right thing. He never has and never will.

From Paul Kuhn:

O'Donnell is standing by his statement, which set off a flurry of "Is it Rove?" stories and blog posts over the weekend. On Arianna Huffington's Huffington Post, O'Donnell has continued to blog about "breaking" the story that Rove was Cooper's source, and likely Novak's as well. After naming Rove on the PBS program "Friday," O'Donnell proceeded to say, "When [Bush] finds out it's Karl Rove, the question becomes, What does the president do then?"

"It was a deliberate act that I was planning for months," O'Donnell told Salon. "What I've been doing with the Huffington Post is simply staying abreast of the story while it was evolving, and it turns out that a blog is an absolutely perfect way to do that," he said. When asked about his sourcing, O'Donnell replied: "I will not characterize my sourcing in anyway." Then he added, "After my public revelation of it, I obtained yet another highly authoritative source on this matter, on the same thing. That Rove is the person Matt Cooper is protecting - had been protecting up until today."

It has been said that the wheels of justice grind slowly, but exceedingly fine. I wish they'd change the gearing and speed 'em up, even if the end result is a little more coarse.
