 Welcome to MichaelMoore.com!
Rove, deputy White House chief of staff for policy and senior adviser, and I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, are the most prominent administration officials to find themselves squirming under the attention of the hard-nosed special prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, and the attendant news media scrutiny.
The result, say administration officials and friends and allies on the outside who speak regularly with them, is a mood of intense uncertainty in the White House that veers in some cases into fear of the personal and political consequences and anger at having been caught in the snare of a special prosecutor.
To those who worked in the White House under Bill Clinton, it was almost a way of life and such a searing experience that many former Clinton officials have more than a dollop of sympathy for what their successors in power are going through.

 Dems holding own hearings on Rove, White House leaks
Democrats contend they have to hold their own unofficial hearing because the Republican leadership of the House and Senate refuses to conduct an official inquiry into whether the Bush White House leaked information about Plame in an attempt to discredit her husband, Wilson, a former acting ambassador to Iraq.
Waxman said the new disclosures raise the issue of whether there was a "conspiracy" in the White House to discredit Wilson because he questioned the evidence upon which the president rested claims that Iraq was pursuing weapons of mass destruction.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan, as he has throughout much of July, declined to respond directly to questions about Rove and the special investigation of White House leaks.
