The more and more that comes out, the more it becomes evident that (as Sebby so excellently put) that Rove was, if anything, a middleman, who told Novak (when questioned by Novak) that he also heard Plame worked for the CIA, and who told Cooper, when solicited by Cooper, that he may want to hold off on the Wilson lies, as his wife at the CIA (note - he didnt say covert agent, secret-agent woman, Spies-R-Us, 00Plame) was involved in the selection of Wilson.
He stole documents, no?
Alleged is the key word. While all the Dems are calling for Rove's head, I'm waiting for any evidence of the security breach. She wasn't covered by the Act, as the evidence shows she was desk analyst for 6 years prior. It was common knowledge in DC she worked for the CIA (if not her role). She's still working there.

Keep your eye on the ball. There's either a perjury case, a charge arising from some Admin/Rove cover up, or there's nothing. Middle man or not, Rove didn't violate the statute. The action here is in what he and the admin did AFTER the leak.
My guess is there won't be charges, but the political fallout will be bad enough that Rove will resign.
