the White House read the 9/11 Commission report. They know how damaging it is going to be, so they leaked the Sandy Berger story to distract attention away from this report. This is a bad habit of this White House. They leak a story to change the subject when they are in deep political trouble. They leaked the identity of a CIA agent whose husband criticized this administration. They leaked Dick Clarke's memo when he criticized them. And they leaked documents to discredit Paul O'Neill after he criticized them. The timing here, unfortunately, again, is very suspicious. We need some answers here. Can we trust this Justice Department to investigate fairly and impartially who leaked this? And why is this administration trying to distract the American people again from the 9/11 Commission report, a commission that this White House did not support the creation thereof or the continuation of this commission? And most importantly, does this administration trust the American people with the truth? I think not.
