Apparently not very confident that the ongoing investigation of the Wilson/Niger/CIA/Rove controversy will lead to anything illegal on Rove's part, they want to make a law that will apply to Rove and attach it to a spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security, regardless of the outcome of the current federal grand jury investigation. When it's their guy in the spotlight, it's innocent until proven guilty. For Rove, it's just the opposite. If they would have their way, if Rove wasn't guilty, they'd make him guilty.
The New York Times couldn't be clearer in the mindset and tactics of this Democrat party. They don't mind politicizing the war on terror or homeland security, while putting us all at risk, to win their political war. The first two para in the story spells it all out. They don't even hide it anymore.
Senate Democrats tried to add to Republican discomfort over the presidential adviser Karl Rove today as they called for legislation to deny security clearances to officials who unmask undercover agents.
The Democrats hoped to attach the measure to a spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security. Should the maneuver succeed, and Republicans then resist the overall bill, Democrats could portray them as trying to block legislation vital to national security.
