White House Won't Say When It Learned Of CIA Leak Probe

WASHINGTON -- The White House isn't responding to questions about when top officials were informed about an investigation into the revelation of a CIA operative's identity.

The first person notified by the Justice Department, then-White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, said he told chief of staff Andy Card immediately, but waited 12 hours to tell anyone else in the executive mansion

2. Dimes to doughnuts, Scotty won't tell us much in tomorrow's...

press briefing or gaggle, either. "Ongoing investigation", don't you know?

3. They won't?? I'm shocked, simply shocked, I tell you!

4. Bush was reading "My Pet Goat" in the Living Quarters

and didn't know anything about it until 8:30 the next morning.

5. The "12 hour gap"

is, of course, of great interest to Fitzgerald. Gonzales has no explanation for it. It will be this scandal's version of the 18 1/2 minute gap on the Nixon tape, according to TIME.
