We've been over this before.

Rove's total involvement was Novak having an informal phone conversation with Rove, and mentioning rumors that Ambassador Wilson was selected for the Niger yellow-cake investigation by his wife, and Rove saying "yeah, I heard that too".

That's saying "yep" to gossip, not Rove offering sources or naming names. It's really vile the lengths that you and others on the Left go to smear Rove and other Republicans. Especially coupled with the way you give a free pass to far more blatantly treasonous actions by the Democrats you fly cover for.

Appearing on Meet The Press today, Matthew Cooper, one of the reporters to whom Rove spoke about Plame, said Rove’s version of the story was hard to believe. “I think he was dissembling to put it charitably,” said Cooper. “To imply that he didn’t know about [Plame's identity], or that he heard it in some rumor out in the hallways, is nonsense.”

Cooper also contradicted Rove’s characterization of their conversation, describing the “essence” of it as much more than just an attempt to wave him off the story:

Look, Karl Rove told me about Valerie Plame’s identity on July 11, 2003. I called him because Ambassador Wilson [Plame's husband] was in the news that week. I didn’t know Ambassador Wilson even had a wife until I talked to Karl Rove and he said that she worked at the agency and she worked on WMD.
