If they are correct, where is the "malice?"

If they are correct, there's still malice, because the person who is naming Rove is a long-time anti-Rove/Bush person. Either way, malice or no malice, it doesn't matter if he is correct and Rove leaked the name, because truth is generally an affirmative defense to charges of libel and/or slander. If Rove actually leaked her name, O'Donnell is fine. If Rove did NOT actually leak her name, HUGE judicial smackies are almost certain to be coming O'Donnell's way (MSNBC's too).
