I don’t really have an opinion on the Rove-Plame hoopla. I just find the spin coming out amusing:
“If anyone in this administration was involved in it [the improper disclosure of an undercover CIA operative's identity], they would no longer be in this administration.” – Scott McClellan, September 29, 2003.
“I don’t know of anyone in my administration who has leaked. If somebody did leak classified information, I’d like to know it, and we’ll take the appropriate action. And this investigation is a good thing.” – president Bush, September 30, 2003.
“I would like this to end as quickly as possible so we know the facts and if someone committed a crime they will no longer work in my administration,” – president Bush, today.
Going from firing those involved to “appropriate action” for those involved to firing those who “commited a crime”. Spin, baby, spin.
