Bayh: Rove must go if linked to CIA leak

DES MOINES, Iowa -- White House political adviser Karl Rove must be forced from office if he's linked to the leaking of a CIA operative's name, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh said today.
Rove faces a fourth grand jury appearance in the investigation of the leaking of CIA officer Valeria Plane's name after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, became a public critic of Bush administration policies.

"Even if he's not indicted, if it appears that a top adviser to the president of the United States was trying to harm someone personally for having a different public policy point of view, that's unacceptable behavior in the White House," Bayh said.

Bayh, who is considering a run for the Democratic presidential nomination, visited Iowa today to campaign for legislative candidates.

Bayh said Bush's political strategists have divided the nation for short-term political gain.

"That kind of cynical strategy has worked well for Karl Rove and the people whose advice he takes, but it's not good for America and it's not the kind of politics I'm going to practice," Bayh said.
