The fact is, we now have the DC bill in front of us and we have a legislative way to express ourselves. The thing I want to point out is now there is an attempt to try to demean this incident by saying that the fact that a CIA analyst or agent--we are not exactly sure--was revealed is not such a big deal and does not have much merit to it. I know my friend spoke about that, but I want to pursue a couple of questions. Is it not the fact that the head of the CIA himself decided this was so egregious, to reveal the identity of Ambassador Wilson's wife, that the head of the CIA, who really serves at the pleasure of President Bush, asked for an investigation by the Attorney General? Is that correct?
