I'd say the WaPo's conclusion is pretty sound on this one.

I still say 99% of the debunking can be done without specific reference to his wife.
I do concede, however, it helps Rove's claim, if he needs to make it, that the disclosure was inadvertent --he was trying to paint a larger picture, and slipped in some insider knowledge.
