Let us remember the real reason that White House political enforcer Karl Rove was chatting with selected reporters in the summer of 2003.

It was not necessarily to blow the cover of CIA operative Valerie Plame. It was not entirely to mete out vicious retribution against her husband, former Ambassador Joseph C.

The malevolence was more fundamental. Rove was trying to sustain the lies that led us into Iraq.
