New York Times pundit Paul Krugman recently wrote, "As part of the effort to discredit Joseph Wilson IV [who questioned certain Bush comments about Iraq's alleged WMDs], Mr. Rove leaked the fact that Mr. Wilson's wife worked for the C.I.A. I don't know whether Mr. Rove can be convicted of a crime, but there's no question that he damaged national security for partisan advantage. If a Democrat had done that, Republicans would call it treason." What do you think?
"This problem stems from the Bush Administration's refusal to document interviews with journalists. Isn't it about time we outlaw documents?" Darleen Edwards, Librarian
Attacks on someone who contradicts the official line don't have to be true, or even plausible, to undermine that person's effectiveness. All they have to do is get a lot of media play, and they'll create the sense that there must be something wrong with the guy. In short, stop persecuting Mr. Rove.Ted Daniels, Office Manager
"Man, if the Democrats are going to complain about every terrible thing Bush has ordered, nothing's ever going to get done in Washington." James Jackson, Business Student
"This is really a national security issue. Were it, say, a women's-studies issue, I might have more insight to share."
Terry Jenner, Salesperson
""I find Karl Rove's background inspiring. Do you know he was caught in a tuna net at the age of six months, only to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard Law School 12 years later?"."
Robert Duncan, CEO
"It's amazing! I've been following this story from day one, and I still don't give a shit."Clark Bender, Taxi Driver
