A number of discussions are going on over who knows what regarding this CIA investigation. As many have pointed out, if Rove knew and Scooter Libby knew, it's not unreasonable to think Bush and Cheney knew as well.

Here's something further. It's no big secret Bush values loyalty, perhaps above all else. He takes care of those loyal to him and Harriet Miers has found out and a former FEMA director and a multitude of others. Ambassador Wilson crossed Bush when he spoke out against him. That would be more than enough reason for him to be dealt with accordingly, even to the point of putting his wife, Valerie Plame in danger. There's also been some animosity between the administration and the CIA for some time now after 9/11.

With both men acting on these, it's clear the administration knew what was going on. This plausible deniability is crap. It didn't work for Nixon, it won't work for Bush the Younger either.
