The press want info on Rove and the CIA leak

But the White House won't give it to them. Watch the video here, it is amazing.

For two years the White House has maintained that Karl Rove is clear of any wrong doing in the leaking of a CIA operatives name. In Sept. 2003 Bush said, "... if there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of." But now the White House refuses to repeat these pledges. Now I know that there is a legal battle going on right now, but the least Bush spokesman, Scott McClellan, can acknowledge that if a crime took place then the President will keep his word. From the AP story

But Bush's spokesman wouldn't repeat any of those assertions Monday in the face of Rove's own lawyer saying his client spoke with at least one reporter about Valerie Plame's role at the CIA before she was identified in a newspaper column.

Rove described the woman to a reporter as someone who "apparently works" at the CIA, according to an e-mail obtained by Newsweek magazine.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan refused to discuss the matter at two news briefings Monday. He said he would not comment because the leak is the focus of a federal criminal investigation.

I f'n hate this government, I feel like I'm in Russia or something. What has the right done to my country?
