Karl Rove, this morning:

"What I did say to one reporter was, I've heard that, too. And what I said to another reporter, off the record, was, in essence, I don't think you ought to be writing about this."

Matt Cooper, shortly thereafter:

"I think [Rove] was dissembling to put it charitably. To imply that he didn't know about [Plame's identity], or that he heard it in some rumor out in the hallways, is nonsense."

Rove? Dissemble? About leaking the identity of an undercover CIA agent? You don't say.
