Reid said Bush "must tell the American people whether President Bush's Oval Office is a place where the buck stops or the leaks start."

But McClellan, in a contentious briefing with reporters, went on a counterattack against Reid, accusing him of "crass politics."

McClellan said Reid "is trying to twist" the story into something that it's not.

Bush has lambasted the leak of Plame's identity, and even more severely has blasted the leak of the existence of a secret wiretapping program under which the government has listened in on calls between people in the United States and suspected terrorists overseas -- without obtaining a warrant to do so.

"There is a difference between providing declassified information to the public when it's in the public interest and leaking classified information that involved sensitive national intelligence regarding our security," McClellan said.

1. If the story is being twisted into something that it is not, then why

won't Scotty actually tell us what the story IS? All the obfuscation at the press conference and the name-calling won't change the story into something other than, at best, a lying administration.

2. Scotty and aWoL confuse the public interest with Their interest

3. How is revealing a covert agent's name and exposing a front company

tracking nuclear proliferation "in the public's interest"?:shrug:

4. "There is a difference ..."

"There is a difference between providing declassified information to the public when it's in the public interest and leaking classified information that involved sensitive national intelligence regarding our security," McClellan said.

9. Good God...Bush LIED...It's as simple as that...He said he didn't know who

leaked, before a microphone for all to see,and that when he found out who did, he would take serious steps....HE KNEW THAT HE WAS THE ONE THAT LEAKED....That's all it's about....He bald-faced L-I-E-D!
