WH: no role in leak probe

first reaction - ROTFLMAO...

second reaction - PISSED...

how can bush, through his talking dummy, trent duffy, have the effrontery to say something like this after he, in his radio address of december 17, expressed hope that it would happen...? i may have been born at night but it certainly wasn't LAST night...

The White House said overnight it had no role in the Justice Department's decision to investigate the leaking of classified information indicating that President George W. Bush authorised a secret government wiretap program.

"The Justice Department undertook this action on its own, which is the way it should be," White House spokesman Trent Duffy said in Crawford, Texas, where the President was enjoying a year-end vacation on his ranch.

if you think the justice department was acting solely on its own volition, come with me... i have a few choice pieces of florida real estate i am willing to let go for a bargain basement price... and let's make sure to do it BEFORE you read this...

President Bush’s announcement Friday, that the Justice Department would begin an investigation into the leak that brought forth his probably illegal domestic spying project, is clearly political and meant to insulate the White House and intelligence agencies from further public scrutiny by saying they are under a criminal prosecution.

It will be up to Congress to undertake a serious investigation, issuing its own subpoenas, and calling the major participants to testify.
