Only government officials should be able to leak classified,WRONG, information to the press. Why should we ever want to hear the CORRECT, truth. Somehow, wrong information from "so called" credible sources is has more weight with some folks than the facts. God Bless America, the land of the free and the home of the (intentionally) ignorant.

The information that he put in his op-ed was classified as well. It also directly contradicted the information that we were getting from the British and the French intelligence services. If I (as CIA director) had to weigh what I thought was more credible, I would have given more credibility to two intelligence services versus a single field agent's report. And, if people do not remember the exerts that they let out of his report, he even spoke to country officials that flat-out told him that the only reason Iraqi officials would be seeking trade would be for dangerous materials. His final assessment was that the story was not true. This story has been driven by people trying to get at those who leaked Plame's name. But, what if the lone individual was wrong. Her name would have never been an issue if her husband/confidant had not leaked classified information to the press first. In all fairness, a leak is a leak.
