Well getting on the wrong train at the wrong time. Guess who steps up. Why it is someone called Harper.

Well bye bye.

He hates leaks, but Bush authorized one: documents

U.S. President George Bush, who has denounced government leaks, authorized a White House official to leak U.S. intelligence about Iraqi weapons while he sought to persuade the world to support an invasion, court documents suggest.

The documents surfaced Thursday in the perjury case against Lewis (Scooter) Libby, former chief of staff to Vice-President Dick Cheney.

Libby is accused of lying to the FBI about a leak in which a columnist was told that a woman whose husband criticized Bush's war plan was a CIA operative. It can be a crime under U.S. law to reveal the identity of an intelligence agent, although Libby is not charged with that offence.

The documents, filed by prosecutors in that case, say Libby told a grand jury that Bush and Cheney cleared him to leak information during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
