White House Leaker in Wilson-Flame Case Still At Large

After more than six months searching, the U.S. military nabbed Saddam Hussein hiding in a 6x8 spider hole -- a needle in a haystack of the 171,600 square miles that is Iraq. But the Bush administration has had less success searching among the 55,000 square feet of the White House to find the leaker within its own midst.

It's long past time to get to the bottom of who in the White House revealed the name of a CIA operative in the name of political hardball. Check out this campaign at: http://www.BustBob.com

George W. Bush and John Ashcroft's Justice Department have had five months to investigate this matter. But they say they still don't know who leaked. We are not surprised - and we don't think they're going to get to the bottom of this.

We don't need to wait for Ashcroft and Bush to find the leaker on the loose. One man knows. Robert Novak is the conservative who published the name in his July 14, 2003 column. He should come clean. He is not a journalist. He is an ideologue.

Last summer, Novak received classified information from White House officials and on July 14th he published the name of an undercover CIA agent. The agent is the wife of former U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, who had publicly questioned Bush on Iraq - yet another public challenge to this Administration's rationale for going to war. Ambassador Wilson believes that the White House leaked his wife's name because he was publicly questioning Bush.

Not only did the release of this information threaten the agent's life and the lives of others she worked with, but it was a threat to national security. And, it is a federal crime for a government official to knowingly release the name of a covert CIA operative.

It's time for Novak to come clean for our national security, or for him to be fired as a columnist. Join 10,000 others who have signed the petition in less than two weeks at http://www.BustBob.com
