The thing is, when he was asked about this in 2004, I believe it was, the reporter said "Will you fire the leaker?" and Bush said he would. It's kind of a trick question, though, because of the phrasing, but...it's not this cut and dried, I'm afraid.

No, Bush said yes, but that it was all up to the prosecutor.(Implying that he needs to know if law was violated)

As posted elsewhere on the thread:

...do you still stand by what you said several months ago, a suggestion that it might be difficult to identify anybody who leaked the agent's name?

THE PRESIDENT: That's up to --

Q And, and, do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have done so?

THE PRESIDENT: Yes. And that's up to the U.S. Attorney to find the facts.

I'm not saying I think Bush said anything wrong, but you just know how they'll try to finesse it.
