The Novak leak and the Bush duty
Patrick J. Buchanan

With the daily casualty reports coming in from Iraq, the White House has a new problem it did not need: a scandal that could force the firing of several White House aides.
Snip

Where the White House has a far more serious problem, however, is from a Washington Post report a week ago, which quoted another "senior administration official" as saying "two White House aides" actively pushed on six different journalists the fact that Ambassador Joe Wilson's wife was a CIA operative.

If this is true, it amounts to a vendetta of retribution against Joe Wilson for having written something offensive to the White House, and might indeed constitute a federal crime.

If this Washington Post report is true, the two White House aides ought to be ferreted out and fired by the president himself. And as these names are floating about town, it would take George W. Bush less than an hour to call the suspects into his office and confront each, and if they did not deny that they pushed this story, tell them they are no longer welcome on the White House staff. And to get themselves a good lawyer.

1. Yesterday Dubya 'innocently' said "we might never know who leaked"

It seems quite obvious to me that Bush has no intention of the truth being found out about the leakers.
