Karl Rove Documents Du Jour (Updated)

Since I know that you are all very busy people, I have decided to aggregate all of the day's documents pertaining to Karl Rove.

1. This "memo" entitled "Joe Wilson's Top Ten Inaccuracies and Misstatements" details what the Republicans believe to be lies spoken by Joe Wilson. Along with each lie is a statement or document reference that, apparently, proves he lied.
2. Rep. Rush Holt of New Jersey, introduced this resolution to commission an independent investigation into the allegations that Karl Rove was the leaker. It calls for a complete dump of all White House documents pertaining to the allegations within 14 days of adoption.
3.Sen. Reid introduced an ammendment to the DHS appropriations bill that would revoke the security clearance from any person who leaks the name of a covert operative.
4. Senator Schumer of New York sent a letter to Chief of Staff Andy Card demanding that the information available as a result of the current investigation be released immediately. He also urged that a new investigation be started regarding the inconsistencies in the information made public by the White House.

This CNN article gives a good rundown of the day's events as well.

Update: I have linked to the text of the ammendment submitted by Sen. Reid. This ammendment was defeated by a vote of 44 to 53.
