I wish to say very briefly that Senator Daschle's statement regarding the leaking of the name of the informant--someone who worked for the CIA--had nothing to do about whether there were or were not weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Senator Daschle had to leave but he wanted to make sure I made the record clear. His statement had no reflection on whether there were or were not weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. His statement simply relates to the fact that there simply should be an investigation into who leaked the most sensitive information regarding someone who worked for the CIA.
