WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 /U.S. Newsiwre/ -- Following is a release of the Democratic National Committee:
Mr. Bush, Tear Down That Stone Wall!
A daily service of the DNC, "Mr. Bush, Tear Down That Stone Wall!" will highlight a specific fact that has been revealed and what Americans deserve to know about the White House's involvement in the improper and possibly illegal disclosure of an undercover CIA agent's identity for political gain.
WHAT'S BEEN UNCOVERED
Bush Rebuked Rove Over Plame Leak in 2003. An article in yesterday's New York Daily News said that, "An angry President Bush rebuked" Rove "two years ago for his role in the Valerie Plame affair." (New York Daily News, 10/19/05) Bush Previously Said He Didn't Know If His Staff Had Leaked Plame's Name; Promised to Fire Anyone Who Leaked Her Name. The account given by the New York Daily News contradicts Bush's previous statements on the matter. In September 2003, Bush claimed, "I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information we'll take the appropriate action." And, later in June 2004, when Bush was asked specifically whether he would fire a staff member who leaked Plame's name, Bush said simply, "Yes." (Houston Chronicle, 7/19/05)
WHAT AMERICANS DESERVE TO KNOW
Why did the President he say he did not know if his staff was involved when he reprimanded Rove for his participation in outing Plame? What did Bush know and when did he know it?
97 DAYS
Since The American Public Learned That A White House Official With Security Clearance Leaked The Identity Of A Covert CIA Operative.
