| Description | WASHINGTON - Sen. Norm Coleman has a message for Democrats who are criticizing top White House aid Karl Rove for his involvement in leaking the identity of a CIA operative: butt out.
"We have enough to do in the Senate in minding our own business than to be sticking our noses into someone else's business," Coleman, R-Minn., said in a prepared statement Wednesday. "Everyone needs to cool the rhetoric, focus on the business of the people, and allow the investigation to run its course."
Rove talked about CIA officer Valerie Plame - without using her name - in a July 11, 2003, conversation with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper. Cooper wrote an article that identified her.
The leak of Plame's identity is the subject of a federal criminal investigation.
"My Democratic friends would be doing the nation a great service if they spent half as much time getting legislation passed that will benefit the country as they do in attacking Karl Rove," Coleman said.
