Rove accused of leaking CIA agent's name.

If this MSNBC analyst is telling the truth, the Republican Party's version of Joseph Goebbels--known as Karl Rove--is guilty of a federal crime. Namely, leaking the name of an undercover CIA agent to the press. God I hope this is true. I desperately want to see this sleazy political operative go to prison.

As the story goes, CIA agent Valerie Plame was outed in a column by GOP stooge Robert Novak as revenge for her husband's criticism of the Bush administration. What I fail to understand is why Novak isn't already in jail. I don't care if he doesn't have to publicly reveal his source. He was obviously an accomplice in a federal crime. (The column had nothing to do with Plame, so her "outing" was immaterial to the subject of the column.)
