Lake County Record-Bee - OpinionRove should be canned
It is time for the president to fire his good buddy Karl ("Mr. Dirty Politics") Rove. We know that Karl Rove revealed the identity of an undercover CIA agent to reporter Matt Cooper and columnist Robert Novak. Rove either broke the law intentionally or was at least grossly negligent with national security secrets, yet he still works in the White House with his good buddy Bush.
Outing an undercover CIA agent hurts our national security. Bush should keep his word and fire Rove, even though he probably owes his presidency to Rove's dirty campaign tricks.
There needs to be a full disclosure to the American people about what happened in this CIA leak case. Karl Rove and other leakers in the White House outed a covert CIA agent in order to punish or discredit a critic of the Bush Iraq policy. This is outrageous, putting politics over national security. It's time to get rid of Rove.
