A flurry of new Rove items have appeared, but it appears the MSM is waiting for the investigators to make the next move. Meanwhile, President Bush refuses to take the logical, common sense step of placing national security ahead of friendship and cutting off Karl Rove and Scooter's access to classified info until they've been cleared. So what questions should the MSM be asking?

1. How long does President Bush intend to let people who are credibly charged with leaking classified information continue with top secret clearance? Shouldn't the President suspend that clearance until the investigation is complete? After all, we are at war.

2. The President has always roundly condemned leakers in his Administration. He even announced a zero tolerance policy by stating anyone involved in leaking the identity of a cover CIA agent to the press would be fired. Now the President has gone back on his word. Is the new Bush standard that only someone actually convicted of a crime will be fired? Doesn't that make Bush's standard the weakest in history?

3. How does the President feel about having not one, not two, not three, but possibly four people high up in his adminstration who have leaked classified information to the press?

4.How does the President justify a recess appointment of a major official who knowingly lied to Congress? How many other times has John Bolton been involved in an investigation into a breach of national security? Does it happen every week? Assuming this was the first time, doesn't it boggle the mind that he could forget something as important as that? Scotty, you've been interviewed as part of an investigation into national security -- how many times has that happened to you? Do you think you'll ever forget that? Doesn't that indicate that John Bolton either lied to Congress or simply doesn't care about national security? Does John Bolton intend to apologize to Congress for lying to them? Or does he not think lying to Congress is a serious matter? Does the President think lying to Congress is not a serious matter?

4. Is the President angry that his adminsminstration is the first in history to intentionally out a covert CIA agent for partisan political purposes? If he is angry, why dooesn't he do something about it? He doesn't need to wait for the end of an investigation to act on the facts available to him right now. If he doesn't act, can we assume the President could care less?

What questions would you ask?
