With Rove, Keep the arguments general

There are two issues: Should Rove be fired, and should Rove be indicted. As of this this writing, I can't glean anything from press reports to indict him. But as a former security manager in the Air Force, I can tell you that if a member of my unit leaked the name of an intelligence agent to anyone, that person would be immediately removed from their job and have their security clearnance taken.
As commander-in-chief, Bush needs to publicly demonstrate to the military and intellegence establishment that he takes this seriously. He hasn't even announced an internal investigation and suspended Rove.
The GOP talking points focus on the legal points. We need to focus on general irresponsibility with sensitive information. That is why Rove must be fired.
