Rove was at the RNC when Bush Sr was RNC Chairman--'73--and may well have known the family before then.
Much as I believe Rove has the talent, I don't believe he'd flirt with anything as potentially dangerous as this--even if he'd been careful enough to avoid breaking the law in any way.
Why is it so hard to accept that the new folks at Kerry and/or the DNC are MORE than capable of perpetrating a crime? They've got a TRAITOR leading them. What crime's heavier?

Try to think outside the box. If I was running someone for president I would want to know everything potentially dangerous about his past. If I had a loose cannon like Burkett floating around, what better way to undermine these NG allegations than have a national news organization implode with a phony story like this. It is the ultimate preemptive attack on the opposition.
Having said this, I don't know what the story is. However, what I do know is that when we know who did the forgeries, we will know the rest of the story. If we don't know who did the forgeries, then we are left with speculation. So my theory is just as valid as the next persons and can't be ruled out of hand.
Is Rove a master chess player? Certainly Rather and the DNC are not.
BTW, I'm not sure why this is so dangerous. A forged document can't be damaging if it is unmasked as soon as this one was. In fact, by all accounts, it redounded to Bush's benefit.
Did someone in the DNC do this? I don't know. If so, then obviously Kerry is finished. Whichever way it plays out, Bush is better off after the story broke than before it broke.
