McClellan, Sept. 29, 2003: "If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."

Seems clear enough to me.
McClellan, Sept. 29, 2003:"MR. McCLELLAN: If someone leaked classified information of the nature that has been reported, absolutely, the President would want it to be looked into".
And if no classified information was leaked then what?
1. You seem to accept as fact that Valerie Plame was a classified CIA agent when in fact it was common knowledge in Washington that she worked at the CIA.
2. You also disregard the fact that this was in the context pertaining to Joe Wilson's trip to African. Wilson not only lied about the report he made but he also lied about how he got selected for the trip. When Karl Rove told Cooper that Wilson was lying and that he shouldn't believe what he was saying, Cooper asked how Wilson was selected in the first place Rove stated his wife got him appointed.
You would have to be a complete idiot to believe that chain of events consitutes "outting" a CIA covert agent. Of course if you knew what you were talking about or had actually read and learned about this topic you would have already known all this. You take one line out of several pages of Qs and As and act like its all clear, you have a grudge that's certainly your right but it doen't mean a lie is the truth. And this entire BS alleged "scandle" is based on a lie.
Valerie Plame was not a covert agent it was common knowledge she worked for the CIA and identifying that she was the person who got Joe Wilson a plum assignment which he is lying publicly about is not "outting" her...
Since Plame was Outed ten years ago it should be obvious to anyone who cares to examine the matter that NO ONE in this administration had a thing to do with it.
