"MCCLELLAN: The president--the president has been--I spoke for him earlier today. The president believes leaking classified information is a very serious matter and it should be pursued to the fullest extent by the appropriate agency and the appropriate agency is the Department of Justice." "MCCLELLAN: If someone leaked classified information of the nature that has been reported, absolutely the president would want it to be looked into, and the Justice Department would be the appropriate agency to do so." "MCCLELLAN: Wait a second. I made it clear that if something like this happened, the president believes the Department of Justice should look into it and pursue it to the fullest extent. Leaking classified information, particularly of this nature, is a very serious matter." " MCCLELLAN: Let me think about what you're asking. Do you have specific information to bring to our attention that suggests White House involvement? There are anonymous reports all the time in the media. The president has set high standards, the highest of standards, for people in his administration. He's made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration " "MCCLELLAN: But, yes, if something like this happened, a leak of highly classified information of this nature, the president would want it looked into and pursued to the fullest extent by the Department of Justice." "MCCLELLAN: And what have I said? The president believes that if someone leaked classified information of this nature that it should be looked into, the Department of Justice should look into it, they should pursue it to the fullest extent possible. So we very much are saying what you're asking." Etc, etc, etc. washingtonpost.com Get with the party line. At least when you're blindly parroting you don't make such a fool out of yourself.
