A Newsweek poll last weekend concluded that "61 percent of Americans polled say they disapprove of the way President George W. Bush is handling the war in Iraq. . . .

"And when asked about the reports that White House adviser Karl Rove may have leaked classified information about Valerie Plame, a CIA agent, 45 percent say, from what they've heard or read about Rove's involvement in the case, that they believe he is guilty of a serious crime; 18 percent say he is not guilty of a serious offense and 37 percent say they don't know, the poll shows."
