Karl Rove: Security Risk

White House advisor Karl Rove dodged an indictment last week -- but remains under investigation. Now, his role in the Plame Affair may cost him his security clearance.

The indictment against Lewis "Scooter" Libby referred to "Official A" as identifying Ms Plame as a CIA agent. "Official A" has since turned out to be Karl Rove.

That information he discussed was classified. Under Executive Order 12958 -- signed by President Clinton in 1995 -- such disclosure calls for losing all access to any classified info.
