Minnesota Daily: "Because of the administration's penchant for secrecy and plausible deniability, the American people might never know what the president authorized the vice president and Lewis Libby to do or not to do. It is clear, however, that if these allegations are true, the president will have moved beyond teetering the grounds for impeachment. If these allegations are true the president of the United States has committed treason."

Kevin Drum: "YET MORE LIES....Joby Warrick of the Washington Post reports on the latest evidence of WMD fabrications from the Bush administration ... Is this ever going to end? How many more deliberate fabrications would we learn about if we could just turn the White House upside down and shake it?"

The Washington Post: "On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq: Two small trailers captured by U.S. and Kurdish troops had turned out to be long-sought mobile "biological laboratories." He declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."
The claim, repeated by top administration officials for months afterward, was hailed at the time as a vindication of the decision to go to war. But even as Bush spoke, U.S. intelligence officials possessed powerful evidence that it was not true."

The Independent: "President George Bush has claimed he was told by God to invade Iraq and attack Osama bin Laden's stronghold of Afghanistan as part of a divine mission to bring peace to the Middle East, security for Israel, and a state for the Palestinians."

Steve Clemons: "... Bush's leak makes all other leak controversies look small. This is an administration that has actually gone back to the National archives to reclassify declassified information. This administation is obsessed with creating fortresses around secrets, and then the "top dog", as Karl Rove has called him, went and leaked highly classified material."

Truthout: "The new information that surfaced late Wednesday places President Bush at the center of the probe for the first time since the investigation into the leak began more than two years ago and raises new questions as to whether Bush knew in advance the lengths to which senior White House officials went to discredit Wilson."

Slate: "Now we learn that the president himself is a leaker. We've always known that the commander-in-chief's distaste for leaking didn't stop it from happening (as it has in every administration), but this is the first time we appear to have direct evidence that Bush had his hand on the siphon."

Maryscott O'Connor:" The President of the United States has broken the law, he has lied to the American people repeatedly and he arrogantly and defiantly claims the right to do so based on specious interpretations of the War Powers Act of 1973. "

v Larry Johnson:" If we can impeach a President for lying about a blow job from an intern, the time has come to impeach a President from giving the American people a line of bullshit about Iraq used to justify a war that has left almost 2400 American soldiers dead. George Bush did not leak to protect America. He leaked to cover his ass. That, my friends, is the definition of a coward."
