This is all just a smokescreen to minimize to damage to the Dems when the arrests come down for the illegal leaks of the NSA program.
There is a huge difference comparing the release of noncurrent declassified intel about an about of power regime and a current top secret program which is protecting the country.
They will claim "Bush did it too!"
The point is the CIA allowed Joe Wilson a known Democrat Hack and Bush hater go on this Fact finding mission to Niger at the behest of his wife Valerie Plame a CIA employee ,a case of nepotism which is illegal,and then to lie about it in his New York Times piece and get away without The Bush administration being able to respond because the information the Congress had refuting his lies was confidential .So the Bush administration tries to get thr truth out and they are accused of trying to out Valerie Plame ,which of course the allies in the commie press just jump on the story and before you know it old Joe wilson is the poor oppressed victim instead of the key perpetrator along with traitors in the CIA and State dept and the the press.
