Bush Aide Deflects Questions On Rove

Democrats Seek Firing in Leak Case

President Bush's aides put up a wall yesterday when questioned about 
revelations that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove had 
discussed the role of CIA official Valerie Plame with a reporter despite 
past White House assertions that he was not involved in her unmasking.

<>Engulfed by questions at two combative briefings, White House press 
secretary Scott McClellan cited the continuing criminal investigation to 
say that he would not discuss conversations Rove had with a reporter 
about Plame before her name was published, or say whether Bush's pledge 
to fire anyone involved in leaking classified information still stands.
