(Via TalkLeft) ThinkProgress tries to read between the lines in where Karl Rove landed in the ongoing shakeup of White House positions:
This morning, the White House announced that Karl Rove will step down from his policy post and resume his focus on the midterm elections. An important question has not been asked: Will Rove also give up his security clearance?
To this day, Rove has maintained his security clearance in spite of evidence that he mishandled classified information regarding Valerie Wilson’s position at the CIA. Rove was named as in the indictment of Scooter Libby as “Official A.”[...]
The article goes on to note that Rove’s new gig focusing strictly on political matters would be consistent with his losing his security clearance..
If that’s true, it’s a (belated) start.
I wonder if there’s anyone else in the White House who ought to lose his/her security clearance for leaking classified information. Hmmmmmm……
