Is there any question that the Republicans, and Rove especially, would divert resources that are supposed to be used to look for terrorists in order to spy on politcal opponents?

1) Rove is in charge of the mid-term political campaigning

2) Rove keeps his security clearance

3) There is no oversight on what is being surveilled, or who has access to it, or how it is being used.
