Looking back at the original CNN report<\/a> from February 11, 2004, announcing that a Special Prosecutor had been assigned to the CIA Leak matter, it’s clear that what Bush had said at the time is exactly what he meant…<\/p>\n “If there’s a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is,” Bush told reporters at an impromptu news conference during a fund-raising stop in Chicago, Illinois. “If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of.”<\/b><\/div>\n Scooter has now been well “taken care of”, so once again, George W. Bush has proven to be a man of his word.<\/p>\n Though his interest in “want[ing] to know who” may have leaked the classified identify of a covert CIA operative overseeing worldwide WMD networks may have been somewhat overstated. As we recently learned during sworn Congressional testimony<\/a>, White House Security Chief, Joe Knodell admitted that they never bothered to launch an investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n “Leaks of classified information are bad things,” the Commutator-in-Chief said, apparently just kidding, back in early 2004.<\/p>\n
