Correction

I misinterpreted the McClellan comment about Bush authorizing a leak as in reference to Valerie Plame.

The classified information McClellan was talking about was the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq, portions of which were leaked to reporters in the summer of 2003 as part of the Bush administration's counter-attack on Joe Wilson, who had accused the White House of using twisted intelligence to support the invasion of Iraq.

  Raw Story

So I guess we don't have the Criminal in Chief taking credit for outing Valerie Plame (Wilson) after all. At least for now.

Many apologies for the error.
