The president's latest comments on the Plame investigation, courtesy of Dan Drezner:
I mean this town is a - is a town full of people who like to leak information. And I don't know if we're going to find out the senior administration official. Now, this is a large administration, and there's a lot of senior officials. I don't have any idea. I'd like to. I want to know the truth. That's why I've instructed this staff of mine to cooperate fully with the investigators - full disclosure, everything we know the investigators will find out. I have no idea whether we'll find out who the leaker is - partially because, in all due respect to your profession, you do a very good job of protecting the leakers. But we'll find out.Our president is willing to throw $600 million at the search for WMD in Iraq, but he can't assure us he'll find the source of a leak in his own administration? At least we know the leak is actually there!
