The White House on Friday declined to challenge assertions that President Bush authorized the leaks of intelligence information to counter administration critics on Iraq.

But Bush's spokesman, Scott McClellan, appeared to draw a distinction about Bush's oft-stated opposition to leaks. ''The president would never authorize disclosure of information that could compromise our nation's security,'' Bush's spokesman said.

Intelligence is not an exact science. There is rarely a "smoking gun" that makes such judgments easy.....its more like trying to put together a puzzle with important pieces missing.....in this case, despite the conflicting pieces, based upon what we did know for sure and based upon SH's own actions.....the decision was not an unreasonable one.
