Ashcroft and the Plame Investigation

If you're looking for the latest on the Plame investigation, here's an interesting story in the American Prospect about how Ashcroft decided to recuse himself.

The story also contains this tidbit about Karl Rove:

Rove's interview with the FBI was highly significant, sources said, in that although Rove adamantly denied having leaked the name of CIA officer Valerie Plame, he admitted to having disseminated the information -- after it appeared in the news media -- to journalists, political activists, and other administration officials in an attempt to discredit Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV. At the time, Wilson was raising questions about the veracity of intelligence information used by President Bush in making the case to go to war with Iraq. Rove, through an assistant, declined to comment for this story.

I'm so glad the president brought integrity back to the White House.
