WHETHER OR NOT BUSH HAD AUTHORITY TO LEAK IS SIDE ISSUE
"The pundits are arguing over whether Bush had the legal right to leak national security information. But, that's a fake debate. Even if its true that releasing the information was no crime, the leakers have committed a bigger crime."

TRAILERS OF MASS DISTRACTION
"50 days after the fall of Baghdad, Bush proclaimed 'We have found the weapons of mass destruction,'a claim repeated by top administration officials for months afterward and hailed as a vindication of the decision to go to war. But even as Bush spoke, U.S. intelligence officials possessed powerful evidence that it was not true."

WHAT BUSH LEAKED
"Only 14 of the full 93 pages of the National Intelligence Estimate that President Bush authorized Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, to disclose to New York Times reporter Judith Miller has actually been officially declassified, according to a posting today on the Web site of the National Security Archive at George Washington University.

The estimate has apparently been released in four forms:

one, a white paper that purportedly represented the substance of the estimate but actually left out most of the dissents and caveats;

second, an abstract that Mr. Libby apparently used to brief New York Times reporter Judith Miller on July 8, 2003;

third, the July 18, 2003, release by the White House of the 'key judgments' section and parts of the dissents;

and fourth, a Freedom of Information Act release to the National Security Archive on June 1, 2004, that included two additional pages but left the vast majority of the estimate whited out.
