A Sidestep and a Backtrack

By Dan Froomkin
Special to washingtonpost.com

Does President Bush still intend to fire anyone found to be involved in the leak of Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative?

Simple question, really. After all, that's what he said on June 10, 2004 .

But now that Karl Rove, Bush's closest adviser, has been implicated in the leak, Bush's standard seems to have changed.

"If someone committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration," Bush announced today.

That's not very specific. And it's also not a real big concession.
