* "Public interest" — as in, "Declassifying information and providing it to the public, when it is in the public interest, is one thing." This refers to leaks that help the president politically.

* "National Security" — as in, "Leaking classified information that could compromise our national security is something that is very serious." This refers to leaks that make Bush look bad.

* "Crass Politics" — as in, "The Democrats have a credibility problem when they try to suggest that we were manipulating intelligence, or that this is about something other than what I just said. That's crass politics." For McClellan, this refers to any effort that points out the White House's mendacity.

* "Providing information" — as in, "There is a difference between providing declassified information to the public when it's in the public interest, and leaking classified information that involves sensitive national intelligence regarding our security." This is a euphemism to help McClellan avoid using the word "leak."

* "Leak" — Something Bush is incapable of doing and/or authorizing.
