Karl Rove Sticks it in the Eye of Conyers, NYT

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove talks about why Rep. John Conyers, the New York Times and the Washington Post owe him an apology for the countless allegations that Rove was behind the firing of Attorneys during the Bush Administration.

"Judging from the evidence released, it uncovered facts that show that my role in the U.S. attorneys issue was minimal and entirely proper. I did not conceive of the idea of removing certain U.S. attorneys, did not select those to be removed, and did not see the lists of U.S. attorneys Justice was considering to replace. I had no idea who was on the final list until Justice sent it to the White House in November 2006. No fair-minded person can review the thousands of pages of documents and testimony and conclude that I drove the process."
