Can't Put This In The Trash

I know Friday is usually used to "put out the trash", or the news story that you want people to forget about over the weekend. This however will not go away. Especially when they take this stance. Not to mention the media is still heated over the assertionsmade abou their coverage of Iraq.

(MSNBC/AP)The White House on Friday declined to challenge assertions that President Bush authorized the leaks of intelligence information to counter administration critics on Iraq.

But Bush’s spokesman, Scott McClellan, appeared to draw a distinction about Bush’s oft-stated opposition to leaks. “The president would never authorize disclosure of information that could compromise our nation’s security,” Bush’s spokesman said.
