Roving into treason

Well, if there wasn't already suggestions that Karl Rove was the primary source of Valerie Plame's identity as a covert CIA operative, it is all but a foregone conclusion at this point. And with this, Rove is identifying himself as a traitor more concerned with crass political calculation than any other goal, say, national security. However, that Rove is a crass political operative is already known, as demonstrated by his politicizing comments about Democrat's reaction to 9/11. Therefore, it is not necessarily most important that Rove is the leaker, as much as I would like to see him 'handcuffed and frog-marched out of the White House'. If Rove was the leaker, there is not much likelihood that he was alone in the planning of the leak. It suggests that at least other high-level members of the White House staff, if not Bush and Cheney themselves, were involved or at least informed about the release of Valerie Plame's identity, and should resign as a result in order to remove the stain this affair (as well as the many other scandals) have brought to the office of the president.
