so rove is guilty, why shouldnt he get the same punishment

He's surrounded by people who have such a clearance. They would have to stop what they were doing every time he walked by if he didn't have a clearance.

If he doesn't, then why are some trying to restrict his access? [link|http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2005/07/15/senate_rejects_bid_to_restrict_rove_access/|Boston Globe]:

WASHINGTON -- The Senate yesterday turned back a Democratic-led attempt to deny White House aide Karl Rove access to classified documents, as the dispute over the revelation that President Bush's top political adviser spread information about a covert CIA agent reached a new level of bitter partisan sniping.

The Democratic bill aimed at revoking Rove's security clearance was part of the party's growing campaign to highlight the disclosure that Rove gave information about the covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson to Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper. Wilson's husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, came to the Capitol yesterday at the invitation of Democrats to call on Bush to fire Rove. ''Karl Rove made his bones doing political dirty tricks," Wilson said, noting that his wife now must work in a different capacity at the CIA because her cover has been blown.

Cheers,
Scott.
