RAW STORY
RAW STORY has obtained an exclusive copy of Republican talking points on
Bush adviser Karl Rove's leaking the name of a CIA agent to a reporter,
circulated by the Republican National Committee to "D.C. Talkers" in
Washington.
The document, emblazoned with the words "Special Edition" and dated Tuesday,
seeks to discredit claims put forth by Ambassador Joseph Wilson, whose wife
was 'outed' as a covert operative by a conservative columnist. After
obtaining copies of emails sent from a Time reporter to his editor, Newsweek
fingered Rove as a source for the leak which disclosed the agent's identity.
The talking points mirror a release by Republican National Committee
Chairman Ken Mehlman earlier Tuesday, in which he declared the attacks on
Rove were spawned by the 'MoveOn' wing of the Democratic Party. MoveOn later
accused the White House of a 'cover up.'
