Plame plot thickens
Judy, Judy, Judy...
From dkos: the WaComPo is reporting that the leakers may have laundered Plame's NOC status through NYT neocon #ucktoy Judith Miller, who in turn reminded Rove about Valerie Plame's link to WH discreditor Joseph Wilson. Rove then shopped the hitpiece to Novak and others.
Dems write to Preznit Honor 'n' Integritude
The Democrats' letter, drafted by Rep. John Conyers, calls on Bush to get his slimy, moon-faced Svengali to explain his role in the outing of a CIA agent or resign his office:

Oval Office, the White House

Dear Mr. President:
We write in order to urge that you require your Deputy White House Chief of Staff, Karl Rove, to either come forward immediately to explain his role in the Valerie Plame matter or to resign from your Administration.
Notwithstanding whether Mr. Rove intentionally violated the law in leaking information concerning former CIA operative Valerie Plame, we believe it is not tenable to maintain Mr. Rove as one of your most important advisors unless he is willing to explain his central role in using the power and authority of your Administration to disseminate information regarding Ms. Plame and to undermine her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson.
High-ranking members of your Administration who are involved in any effort to smear a private citizen or to disseminate information regarding a CIA operative should be expected to meet a far higher standard of ethical behavior and forthrightness.
