White House denies calling for probe
THE White House said overnight it had no role in the Justice Department's decision to investigate the leaking of classified information indicating that President George W. Bush authorised a secret government wiretap program.
"The Justice Department undertook this action on its own, which is the way it should be," White House spokesman Trent Duffy said in Crawford, Texas, where the President was enjoying a year-end vacation on his ranch.
But he added: "The White House was informed of the decision, as was the president."
Mr Duffy stressed that "the leaking of classified information is a serious issue." And he defended the use of wiretaps, warning that "Al-Qaeda's playbook is not printed on page one, and when America's is, it has serious ramifications."
The 'White House' wants the public to think they had nothing to do with the Justice Department's investigation into who leaked the wiretap information. Bush and other Republicans also want you to think that al-Qaeda just realized they were being monitored since that leak.
They think you're stupid......And, if you believe either one of those-then they're right...you are stupid.
Get your head out of your ass!
