The defense in I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's perjury trial opens Monday, but White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove is not expected to be called as a witness, two sources close to the defense said.     Just last month, Rove and presidential counselor Dan Bartlett received subpoenas informing them they could be called to testify. A flurry of reports circulated suggesting that the White House aides might be forced to provide testimony damaging to the president.     Libby's attorneys refused to comment on whether Rove would testify, but Rove's legal team has been told at this point not to expect it, the sources said. (Watch how the Libby trial has revealed White House intrigue)    Libby's attorneys could still change their minds, but a source close to Rove said the White House official has been told that his chances of being called as a defense witness are between "zero and nil."    Libby is charged with lying to investigators and a grand jury investigating the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. Knowingly identifying a covert agent is illegal.
