Fox news reports that Rove will testify before Fitzgerald's "Plame Leak" grand jury, "one more time".
There is no guarantee from Fitzgerald that Rove will not be indicted, regardless of his new testimony. Should Rove not be fired for disobeying Bush's announced policy of "full cooperation" with the CIA leak investigation?
How can an executive branch that leaks classified information and then covers it up at the highest levels, avoid congressional investigation? I cannot accept a shadow president (Rove) who commits a treasonous act, or a president who would follow closley and consistantly the direction of such a man.
Impeach Bush !!!!!

Rove to Testify Again on CIA Leak
Thursday, October 06, 2005
WASHINGTON — Karl Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff and longtime adviser to President Bush, has agreed to testify again on the leak of a CIA officer's name without protection against indictment.
Sources close to the investigation said Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald (search) has not yet decided whether criminal charges will be brought against anyone in the case, which centers on whether CIA officer Valerie Plame (search) was illegally outed to the press.
The U.S. attorney's manual requires prosecutors not to bring witnesses before a grand jury if there is a possibility of future criminal charges unless they are notified in advance that their grand jury testimony can be used against them in a later indictment.
Rove has already made at least three grand jury appearances and his return at this late stage in the investigation is unusual.
The prosecutor did not give Rove similar warnings before his earlier grand jury appearances.
Rove offered in July to return to the grand jury for additional testimony and Fitzgerald accepted that offer Friday after taking grand jury testimony from the formerly jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller.
