NYT Clears Rove Without Quite Admitting It

Rove heard the rumor from Novak, not the other way around.

Well, Rove had heard it too, as he told Novak. But Novak brought it up first.

Look, it seems a lot of reporters knew about the very non-covert Ms. Plame. Andrea Mitchell admitted this.

Absurd.

Lorie links Captain Ed, too, who wonders, as I have: How come we know all this? Isn't grand jury testimony supposed to be confidential, and illegal to disclose?

Proof positive of our partisan press. Remember when there were grand jury leaks during the Ken Starr investigation of Clinton, and we never heard the end about that? How such leaks rendered the entire investigation corrupt and Clinton thereby innocent?

Funny the press doesn't question grand jury leaks when a Republican is being investigated, innit it?
