But bear this in mind: whatever else happened, when this all started Rove chose his words carefully and definitely allowed the impression that he had nothing to do with this exist. MILLIONS of dollars later, and this thing has snowballed, and suddenly it's revealed he DID in fact play an active role. That in itself, whether or not it's "illegal", is manipulative and unethical.

Though i am not convinced he did violate the law as it is written down, his actions in my opinion were indeed unethical.
But so is the attack on him by the left without the investigation being complete.
I say this because both Rove and Wilson/Plame defenders have motivations to harm the other, none of them what i call fair or realistic.
I don't know, nor can i tell from all the bickering, who did what for sure.
But i do think that Rove should lose his Security Clearance until this investigation is complete.
I actually think he should be fired just for ethics violations alone.
But nobody cares what I think about it i'm sure.
