“Bush acknowledges declassifying intelligence”
“Patrick Fitzgerald, prosecutor in the Libby case, wrote in the court papers that there was an effort by "multiple" White House officials to "discredit, punish or seek revenge against" a critic of the Iraq war -- a reference to Wilson. ”
“The court documents do not suggest Bush approved the leaking of the agent's identity.”

TRANSCRIPT OF BUSH NEWS CONFERENCE
(MSNBC.COM, MARCH 21, 2006)
“Productivity is strong. Inflation is contained. Household net worth is at an all-time high. Real after-tax income is up more than 8 percent per person since the beginning of 2001.”
“So I'm going to continue to work with Congress to make the tax relief permanent. I'm going to continue to work with Congress to restrain federal spending. I'm going to continue to work with Congress to achieve the goal of cutting the deficit in half by 2009.”
“My attitude about the defense of this country changed in September the 11th. When we got attacked, I vowed then and there to use every asset at my disposal to protect the American people.
“Our foreign policy changed on that day. You know, we used to think we were secure because of oceans and previous diplomacy. But we realized on September the 11th, 2001, that killers could destroy innocent life.
And I'm never going to forget it. And I'm never going to forget the vow I made to the American people, that we will do everything in our power to protect our people.
Part of that meant to make sure that we didn't allow people to provide safe haven to an enemy, and that's why I went into Iraq.
(Crosstalk)
President Bush: Hold on for a second. Excuse me for a second, please. Excuse me for a second. They did. The Taliban provided safe haven for Al Qaida.
That's where Al Qaida trained and that's where...
Question: (Off-mike)
President Bush: Helen, excuse me.
That's where -- Afghanistan provided safe haven for Al Qaida. That's where they trained, that's where they plotted, that's where they planned the attacks that killed thousands of innocent Americans.
I also saw a threat in Iraq. ”
“Question: You said you listen to members of Congress, and there have been growing calls from some of those members for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld -- also from his own former subordinates, like U.S. Army Major General Paul Eaton, who described him in a recent editorial as "incompetent and tactically inept." “
“Question: Mr. President, in the upcoming elections, I think many Republicans would tell you one of the big things they're worried about is the national debt, which was $5.7 trillion when you took office. It's now nearly $8.2 trillion. And Congress has just voted to raise it to $8.9 trillion. That would be a 58 percent increase. You've yet to veto a single bill, sir. I assume that means you're satisfied with this.
“Question: For the first time in years, interest rates are rising in the U.S., Europe and Japan at the same time.
Is this a concern for you? And how much strain are higher interest rates placing on consumers and companies?
President Bush: First of all, interest rates are set by an independent organization of which...
(Crosstalk)
Well, I'm not quite through with my answer yet. I'm kind of stalling for time here.
(Laughter)
Interest rates are set by the independent organization. I can only tell you that the economy of the United States looks very strong. And the reason I say that is that projections for first quarter growth of this year look pretty decent.”

CIA LEAK SCANDAL
“Gallup: Most Americans Critical of President in CIA Leak Case
By E&P Staff
Published: April 11, 2006 7:50 AM ET
NEW YORK A new Gallup poll released today finds that most Americans are critical of President Bush's actions in the Plame/CIA leak scandal, but only one in four is following the matter closely.
Overall, 63% of Americans believe Bush did something either illegal (21%) or unethical (42%), while 28% say he did nothing wrong. While many more Democrats are critical, 3 in 10 Republicans also find that Bush did something illegal or unethical.”

“Notes of the previously undisclosed conversation between Mr. Libby and Mr. Cheney on June 12, 2003, appear to differ from Mr. Libby's testimony to a federal grand jury that he initially learned about the C.I.A. officer, Valerie Wilson, from journalists, the lawyers said”

(NY Times, 10-8-05)
“In recent days, the prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, has accelerated the pace of his inquiry in an apparent effort to conclude the case before the grand jury's term expires on Oct. 28. Mr. Fitzgerald has indicated to several lawyers that he might be preparing to bring charges, but he has not yet made a decision.
He has asked to meet on Tuesday with Judith Miller, a reporter for The New York Times who, after spending 85 days in jail, testified last week to the grand jury about her conversations with I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff.”

“Prosecutor in Leak Inquiry Orders Rove to Return Again”
(NY Times, 10-6-05)
“Mr. Rove has been caught up in the inquiry since the F.B.I. began investigating the matter in 2003. He has told investigators that he spoke with the columnist Robert D. Novak a few days after the operative's husband wrote an Op-Ed article for The Times, a lawyer in the case has said. In that conversation, Mr. Rove said that he learned the operative's name from the columnist and the circumstances in which her husband traveled to Africa.
But at the end of that conversation, Mr. Rove told Mr. Novak that he had already heard the outlines of the columnist's account.
The conversation with Mr. Novak took place several days before Mr. Rove spoke with a second reporter, Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper said later in an e-mail message to his editors that Mr. Rove had talked about the operative, although not by name.”

“Bush Says He'll Fire Any Aide Who 'Committed a Crime'
(NY Times)
“Asked about his close adviser Karl Rove, who is at the center of an investigation into the disclosure of the officer's identity, Mr. Bush said: "If someone committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration. I don't know all the facts; I want to know all the facts." ”
“On Sept. 30, 2003, Mr. Bush said he was eager to find out if there had been "a leak" from his administration about Mrs. Wilson. "I want to know who it is," he said. "And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of." ”
“Mr. Bush himself appeared to embrace a broader position on June 10, 2004, when he was asked whether he would fire anyone who had anything to do with leaking Mrs. Wilson's name.
"Yes," Mr. Bush replied, and his spokesmen have reiterated that stance repeatedly in the months since then. ”
