The one thing that's absolutely clear is that Karl was not the source for the leak and there's no basis for any additional speculation.

Mr. Fitzgerald has affirmed to me that he has made no charging decisions, that he believes Karl continues to cooperate fully with the investigation, but beyond that, I don't want to comment at all about any communications with Mr. Fitzgerald's office.

Karl has truthfully told everyone who's asked him that he did not circulate Valerie Plame's name to punish her husband, Joe Wilson, Everyone is everyone.

The reason this resolution was delayed had nothing to do with anything Karl did or failed to do.

The special counsel has not advised Mr. Rove that he is a target of the investigation and affirmed that he has made no decision concerning charges.

Rove has cooperated completely with the special prosecutor, and he has been repeatedly assured he is not a target of the investigation,
