WTF Is It Now?!?

Dick aide fingers Bush re: leak
"The President has set high standards, the highest of standards for people in his administration. He's made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."
[White House Briefing, 9/29/03]

"I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action."
[Bush Remarks: Chicago, Illinois, 9/30/03]

"You know, there's a lot of leaking in Washington, DC. It's a town famous for it. And if this helps stop leaks, this investigation in finding the truth, it'll not only hold someone to account who should not have leaked -- and this is a serious charge, by the way. We're talking about a criminal action. But also hopefully we'll help send a clear signal we expect other leaks to stop as well. And so I look forward to finding the truth."
[Bush, 10/06/03]

"I don't know how Democrats will fail to capitalize on this GOP debacle, but I'm sure they'll find a way."
