DNC reminds Bush of father's words

Washington, D.C. - Today President Bush met with his private lawyer and the prosecutor investigating the leaking of a CIA agent's identity. Democratic National Committee spokesperson Jano Cabrera issued this response:

"White House claims that they are fully cooperating with this investigation seem at odds with the President feeling the need to hire a private lawyer. Whether his private lawyer was by his side or not, we hope that Bush remembered today how his father felt about those who would expose the names of our intelligence agents - namely that those would do so were the most insidious of traitors."

President George H.W. Bush "…I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors." [George H.W. Bush, 4/26/99]
