| The president is well known for having stated, in relation to this increasingly bizarre and twisted case: “I don’t know of anyone in my administration who has leaked. If somebody did leak classified information, I’d like to know it, and we’ll take the appropriate action” and for having taken the sternest positions on the very subject of leaking. (”Leaks of classified information are bad things. We’ve got too much leaking in Washington. I want to know who the leakers are.”) |
| These are, of course, statements open to interpretation. How much, after all, do any of us really know ourselves? |

Bizarro: Mr. Bush was actually telling the truth when he did boast about firing a leaker, he has no idea he approved Cheney’s plan of attack on Wilson… much as in his clueless signoff of the Dubai ports deal. Which begs a basic question, did he even understand the specific points of the NIE in 2003 to which he declassified back then? How about even now? Reagan had his Alzheimer’s disease, Bush has only ‘my pet goat’ mental capacity.
Probable: Mr. Bush has considerable knowledge of the entire Plame attack campaign, beginning possibly earlier than June 2003. He doesn’t fire any of his WH people anyway.
