I am inclined to believe that Karl Rove was the primary source of the leak of Valerie Plame's position with the CIA, as this story states. It matches his M.O. He's done similar things before.
However, in all of the clips that I've seen of Rove about this story, he's made the claim "I never knew the woman's name, and I never leaked her name." (or something to that effect). And that is what the article ALSO states.
So Rove was being technically correct. But he was also being very hinky with the truth. I do believe that at this point, it's time for Rove to cop to the leak and step aside. His job of getting Bush into the presidency is done, it's what he wanted to do, it's what he set out to do, he's done it.
Now he can move into one of those fat consulting gigs I'm sure is waiting for him.
