Where can I find HW's Quote: "those who leak sources are scum?'
Where can I find George HW's quote about people who leak their CIA sources -something he said right after he fired Rove in 92? Saw it at Michaelmoore.com, but doesn't even seem to be THERE when I look for it. If it's nowhere else, could it just be fabricated?

Please help!

1. Here You Go. . .
“Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, narco-trafficking, people killing each other, fundamentalists killing each other in the name of God. These and more. Many more. As our analysts know, as our collectors of intelligence know — these are our enemies. To combat them we need more intelligence, not less. We need more human intelligence. That means we need more protection for the methods we use to gather intelligence and more protection for our sources, particularly our human sources, people that are risking their lives for their country. Even though I’m a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors.”

~ George H. W. Bush

2. Right here? Not '92
I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors.
