Remember, after all, whose boy rove is. rove and dubya are joined at the hip. When push comes to shove, to whom do you think rove will remain loyal - dickie-boy? Not a chance. He's bush's baby. And he may have decided to stab cheney in the back to stanch the blood flow before it washes over george. Perhaps he's hoping if he throws cheney to the wolves, everyone will be satisfied gnawing on cheney's corpse while bush quietly slithers away and avoids facing the music. It wouldn't be the first time rove has gone the assassin's route to take out an enemy. And he IS, indeed, a senior White House official, is he not? One whose ass is in serious need of protection. And he came to the dance with bush, NOT cheney.
