| Description | WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate minority leader said Sunday that President Bush and Vice President Cheney owe the country an explanation of "what's going on" in the administration and called for Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove to be fired.
"I think not only should the president appear before the American public and explain what is going on and take a few questions from the press, but certainly the vice president should do that," Sen. Harry Reid told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."
The Nevada Democrat referred to past comments from the president that anyone found to have been involved in the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's name to the media would be fired. Bush later amended his comments to say that anyone guilty of a criminal act would be fired.
"Everyone knows Karl Rove is involved," Reid said. "If the president is a man of his word, Rove should be history."
Rove is widely believed to have been named as "official A" in the five-count indictment handed up Friday against I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
