President Bush speaking at a
press conference in Feb. 2004

Former VP Chief of Staff Scooter Libby has testified that President Bush authorized him to disclose the contents of highly classified intelligence documents to the media. The disclosure was made to bolster the Bush administration's case for war with Iraq, according to a federal court filing by the special prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald.

All This Is That remembers that in February, 2004 The President welcomed a Justice Department investigation into who leaked the name of a CIA operative.

"If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is," Bush told reporters at an impromptu news conference during a fund-raising stop in Chicago, Illinois. "If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of. "
