If Only They Whisked Him Off to Guantanamo Bay...

From CNN:

President Bush's chief political strategist appeared Friday in front of a grand jury looking into who leaked the name of a covert CIA agent.

After his testimony, Karl Rove declined to comment as security guards whisked him away.

Federal prosecutors have been trying to determine whether a crime was committed when someone released the identity of Valerie Plame to the news media. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell have also been interviewed, though none was summoned before the grand jury, according to The Associated Press.

Such a disclosure is illegal if it is intentional.
