“There are too many leaks of classified information in Washington. If there’s leaks out of my administration, I want to know who it is, and if the person has violated the law, the person will be taken care of.”
— President George W. Bush, Sept. 30, 2003
“If anyone in this administration was involved in [leaking the CIA operative’s identity], they would no longer be in this administration… The president knows [Karl Rove] wasn’t involved… It’s simply not true.”
— President Bush’s spokesman Scott McClellan, Sept. 30, 2003
“The White House promised if anyone was involved in the Valerie Plame affair, they would no longer be in this administration. I trust they will follow through on this pledge. If these allegations are true, this rises above politics and is about our national security.”
— Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., July 11, 2005

Wow, time travel. You’re quoting George Bush– from the future!
(You might want to fix the “September 30, 2005” date.) ;)
Got it. Thanks!
