I am not a crook.
"Let me say a few words about important values we must demonstrate while all of us serve in government. First, we must always maintain the highest ethical standards. We must always ask ourselves not only what is legal, but what is right. There is no goal of government worth accomplishing if it cannot be accomplished with integrity." - George W. Bush, fascist and professional liar.
Libby testimony shows a White House pattern of intelligence leaks
"A cancer on the nation."
On Friday, White House officials said that the administration declassified information to rebut charges that Bush was manipulating intelligence.
Without specifically acknowledging Bush's actions in the Libby case, White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters: "There were irresponsible and unfounded accusations being made against the administration suggesting that we had manipulated or misused that intelligence. We felt it was very much in the public interest that what information could be declassified be declassified."
McClellan didn't address why administration officials often declassified information that supported their allegations about Iraq but not intelligence that undercut their claims.

I guess none of the press corpse called him on it, either. Huh.
