Bush once said that if anyone in his administration leaked classified information, "appropriate action" would be taken. Yesterday, in response to a question at a press conference with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Bush said, "If someone committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration."

Wouldn't leaking classified information be a crime? Of course. The dems and the press want him to fire Rove simply because they're accusing him of leaking classified information. It didn't happen.

Wouldn't leaking classified information be a crime?

Exactly. The point of course being Plame's employment by the CIA was not classified info at the time.
