I don't think there's an over-reliance here on the fact that Wilson's wife sent him to Africa. Stand back for a moment and look at all the evidence, try to see in people's statements what their motivation is. Wilson has already made clear his motive when he said he wanted to see Rove "frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs." Now Howard "The Cannibal" Dean, John Kerry, and Hilary "I Burned All My Blue Dresses" Clinton are clamoring for Rove's head. It's pretty clear what's happening here.
Did Rove do something sleazy? Yes.
Did Wilson do something sleazy? Yes.
Did Robert Novak do something sleazy? Yes.
Did Valerie Plame do something sleazy? Most likely.
Did TIME magazine do something sleazy? Most likely.
The dems know that can't pin anything on Rove (lord knows they've been trying for the past 2 years) so now they're dragging him through the court of Public Opinion, praying that something - ANYTHING - will pressure Rove to resign.
