I don't know if the people who want pre-emptive war against Iran are turning against Rove. I think a bigger tin hat may be needed to understand Libby's coded message to Miller:
The * are eagerly anticipating the avian flu pandemic -- but won't wait -- they will release diseases into the population (such as tularemia at the anti-war march) so that they can claim 'avian flu' and set in motion a militarized police state. And/or they will commit bioterrorism and blame it on Iran so they can invade Iran - and Judith Miller will have something to report.
Republican Congressman Slams Bush On Militarized Police State PreparationCongressman Ron Paul has accused the Bush administration of attempting to set in motion a militarized police state in America by enacting gun confiscation martial law provisions in the event of an avian flu pandemic.

"To me it's so strange that the President can make these proposals and it's even plausible. When he talks about martial law dealing with some epidemic that might come later on and having forced quarantines, doing away with Posse Comitatus in order to deal with natural disasters, and hardly anybody says anything. People must be scared to death."
Paul, himself a medical doctor, agreed that the bird flu threat was empty fearmongering.
========================================
Recently, biological hazard sensors in Washington, DC detected traces of the highly-infectious tularemia (rabbit fever) bacteria on the Washington Mall during the anti-war demonstrations held in the nation's capital, a gathering that brought together over 300,000 people from all parts of the country. An anthrax attack on Congress during Patriot Act passage, tularemia found during anti-war demonstrations, bird flu being used as an excuse to scrap Posse Comitatus and impose martial law?
