“I’VE ALREADY SAID TOO MUCH”

Those words could come back to haunt Karl Rove. According to Matt Cooper, they were the last words Karl Rove said to him in their telephone call over the Wilson affair. Rove also told Cooper that Joe Wilson’s wife worked at the “Agency on WMD.” That might not be illegal, but it does seem to me to be consistent with an attempt to smear Wilson, using his wife, while skriting the fact of her CIA cover. Classic Rove sleaze. The somewhat aggressive Grand Jury also seems to consist of many African-American women – not exactly Rove’s base. Time also reports that

White House political advisor Karl Rove told the special prosecutor in the Valerie Plame spy case that he heard about Valerie Plame’s identity from a reporter-or perhaps from someone else in the administration who said he got it from a reporter-Rove just couldn’t be certain or remember which one, a source who has been briefed on his account tells TIME.

So it could have been from the administration or the CIA. The bottle keeps spinning. When it stops, who’ll be the guilty one? And guilty of what? It’s not even clear any more what possible crime Fitzgerald is investigating.
