Bush is *trying* really, really hard to find the leaker, about which situation Bush says: CIA leak may not be found
From correspondents in Washington
October 8, 2003

US President George W Bush today cast doubt on the prospects of finding a senior administration official behind a leak that illegally identified a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent.

The leak has become the first major scandal to hit the White House, but Bush told reporters: "I don't know whether we are going to find out the senior administration official."

"This is a large administration, and there are a lot of senior administration officials, and I don't have any idea," he said after a cabinet meeting at the White House.

But he said: "I want to know the truth. That's why I've instructed this staff of mine to cooperate fully with the investigators."

The White House has given staff until 7am today AEST to hand over documents related to the leaking of the name of Valerie Plame, the wife of Joseph Wilson, a former ambassador who had accused the Bush administration of exaggerating the case for war against Iraq.
