Dissent. Whether he violated the statute or outed her, knowingly or not, he almost certainly violated his security clearance by talking to reporters about her status at all (even just confirming what they already knew or discussing what he had heard from other reporters and therefore thought was already public), and demonstrated extremely poor judgment in permitting this situation to arise. On the bad judgment point alone he should go. There really should be zero tolerance for these sorts of fuck ups at his level of responsibility in the admin.
I really hope that W's vaunted loyalty doesn't cause him to mess this up and try to keep him, but I'm not confident. If Rove wants what's good for the admin, he'll resign before he's under even more of a cloud.
More interesting is the question of who is the other leak? At best you have one leak and one moron who validated the leak through stupidity, at worst you have a conspiracy of leaks, which could be very, very damaging for an admin trying to conduct what is at heart a covert war.
That said, and completely irrelevant to the points above, Wilson sure is a distasteful little shit.
