At the White House briefing today, Dana Perino was asked about the Administration's leak of that al Qaeda video which led to the shutdown of an important conduit of intelligence information on bin Laden's group. Here is her response:Oh well....President Bush and this administration has felt strongly about leaks about classified information and intelligence. We don't think that it serves the American people well. And so that is the concern -- concern from that standpoint, as well, just on the overall issue of leaking of classified or intelligence information.That's code for, this leaker may get a presidential pardon.
