I'm gonna try some "cop logic" on this particular situation.
If Rove has nothing to hide, then he should testify. Bush hasn't done anything so secret and earth-shattering to require him to assert executive privilege over the firing of government attorneys.
Were those fired attorneys part of some secret government cabal? No.
Were those who replaced them part of some secret government cabal? Maybe, if you include a highly partisan party machine.
This is the real reason behind the executive privilege claim: They got caught and don't want to own their malfeasance.
That sort of thing is grounds for impeachment and prosecution itself.
Rove will end up testifying. Mark my words.
