When you take on a job that requires a security clearance, your background is checked to the level that is required for the maximum security clearance your normal job would require. If the job description changes, you might need a new security background check, but they go as deep as they need to the first time around so you don't have to wait around for a new background check before you're exposed to information at a level you should already be cleared to receive. Rove is a direct advisor to the President of the USA. He's held that position for years. If there was EVER a chance he would be exposed to the identity of an undercover CIA operative in the course of his normal duties at the White House, he would have been given that level of security background check and clearance from the start. Since undercover operatives have been known to brief the President and his staff before, you can be sure that Rove already had the security clearance to know the covert status of someone who might be briefing him on something. There is no need for a NEW security background check for Rove concerning CIA operatives since that would be part of his normal duties at the White House. ANYONE working at the White House at that level would have that level of security clearance since it might happen that they would accidentally learn the identiy of an undercover operative just by walking by an open door. You're confusing the "need to know" issue with the security issue, BTW. And in Rove's job, he would have pretty much a blanket "need to know" access as long as it was authorized by the President.
