Master strategist finds himself at heart of scandal
Star-Telegram | 07/13/2005 | Master strategist finds himself at heart of scandal: "After soaring to near-mythical stature as the genius behind President Bush's political ascent, senior White House strategist Karl Rove is facing the biggest crisis of his storied career over the leaked identity of a CIA agent.
Bush has alternately described his longtime adviser as a 'boy genius' and 'the architect' who helped propel the former Texas governor to victories in two presidential races. Now Rove is at the center of a midsummer Washington scandal as gleeful Democrats clamor for his ouster.
The former Texas political consultant has suddenly emerged at the heart of a special prosecutor's investigation into the source of news leaks that identified CIA agent Valerie Plame after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson IV, accused the White House of manipulating information to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq."
