And ultimately, giving up the CIA agent's name looks an awful lot like Rove was doing the president's bidding by exacting revenge for former Ambassador Joe Wilson's challenging Bush on Iraqi intentions to gain uranium from Africa. So, it's going to be very hard for Bush to let Rove go.

But that's exactly what Bush insinuated on Sept. 30, 2004, when he said he would "take care" of anyone who leaked the information.

Is the White House's credibility at issue as former presidential candidate John Kerry said last week?

Probably, but more so from the standpoint of whether Bush is willing to make the tough decision when he is the one who will suffer most directly from the decision.
