Hadley won't say if he's Woodward's source

Associated Press


BUSAN, South Korea - National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley won't say if he was the source who told Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward that Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson's wife worked for the CIA. But Hadley volunteered on Friday that some administration officials say he's not the leaker.

Accompanying President Bush at a summit here, Hadley was asked at a news briefing whether he was Woodward's source.

Referring to news accounts about the case, Hadley said with a smile, "I've also seen press reports from White House officials saying that I am not one of his sources." He said he would not comment further because the CIA leak case remains under investigation.

Leaving the room, Hadley was asked if his answer amounted to a yes or a no. "It is what it is," he said.

1. Since Hadley refuses to be forthcoming
regarding his role in this scandal, shouldn't that be enough grounds to force him to tender his resignation?

2. That sounds like a yes to me.
Leaving the room, Hadley was asked if his answer amounted to a yes or a no. "It is what it is," he said.

Oh Mr. Hadley, you have a call on line 2 it is a Mr. Fitzgerald.

3. Of course he's not going to admit it, because that's basically a...
...confession of guilt to to a felony.

Besides, Fitz wants the person who gave Hadley the information about Valerie Plame. Cheney's people are claiming that Cheney didn't leak to Woodward, but did Cheney leak to Hadley who, in turn, leaked to Woodward?

6. Huh? He quotes others as saying he's not the leaker? Does he think...
this is some kind of game? If he's not the leaker, he should say so -- and if he is, I think any attorney would tell him to "STFU."

10. Any possible reason why you wouldn't say "no" if you weren't? No.
Say good night, Hadley.
