White House denies suggestion that Pres Bush's senior adviser Karl Rove illegally disclosed identity of undercover CIA officer; also rejects growing calls from Democrats for appointment of special outside counsel to determine whether anyone in administration disclosed officer's identity in effort to punish officer's husband for his criticism of Iraqi intelligence; FBI has opened investigation into case; White House spokesman Scott McClellan says there is no conflict of interest for Atty Gen John Ashcroft to oversee inquiry that could have immense political implications for Bush; columnist Robert Novak says nobody in administration told him to leak information about CIA officer; says he learned about her while covering her husband's trip to Africa; growing furor underscores Bush administration's continued political vulnerability on issue of whether it exaggerated threat from Iraq before war; even some Republicans in Congress are beginning to cast more skeptical eye on administration's use of intelligence to make its case against Iraq (M)
