A Leak Is A Leak Is A Leak

But when is it not a leak?!?! Well, when President Bush says so. According to CNN, when Mr. Bush visited Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, he said, "I thought it was important for people to get a better sense of what I was saying in my speeches. And I felt I could do so without jeopardizing ongoing intelligence matters."

Mr. Bush said that this information was meant to have the people "get a better sense". But that better sense was WRONG. In his State of the Union address of years long, long ago, (not really that long ago but I just wanted to add some drama, not that it is even needed for Bush) he staid that Iraq had sought uranium from Niger so they could get nuclear weapons. But the Bush administration even said later that the information that Bush had said in respect to the uranium and the weapons program was WRONG.

But the information that was leaked about the weapons program were LEAKED because according to the closest thing to Bush we can get (Scott McClellan) the documents were declassified on July 18, 2003, 10 days AFTER Bush had approved the release of information.

President Bush has wanted to get the person who had leaked the information about the NSA spying program, but then when he leaks information it was for the public good. Was the person who told the Americans about the illegal spying on them not acting in the public good??? We must not apply a double standard to what the government and the people elected to government can and cannot do. That is something that is owed to the American people.
