Two paragraphs from today's Bloomberg News story that are interesting (LINK):
And.
The NY Times story on Bush's stance and the leak. LINK.
Washington Post's story, by Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen: "This is a small, but potentially very significant, distinction, because details that have emerged from the leak investigation over the past week show that Karl Rove, Bush's top political aide, and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, discussed Plame with reporters before her name was revealed to the public. It is unclear whether either man committed a crime, according to lawyers familiar with the case." LINK.

Two paragraphs from today's Bloomberg News story that are interesting (LINK):
"By saying the conduct must be criminal, the president is significantly backtracking," said Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University. "This is especially so because the crime involved is so narrow."
And.
According to an ABC News poll released yesterday, 75 percent of the 1,008 respondents questioned July 13-17 said Rove should be fired if he leaked classified information. In addition, only 25 percent of respondents said they believe the White House is fully cooperating in the investigation, down from 47 percent in September 2003, when the inquiry began.
