White House Leaky?

W.House does not dispute Bush leak allegation - Yahoo! News

So it goes... all the way to the top.

But this is kind of baffling. If you can claim no involvement, you should be able to deny an allegation like this.

There is an explanation. The article linked to above says that Libby was told by Cheney that Bush authorized it. Now I'm not trying to build a defense for the president, but perhaps the duplicitousness is on the part of the vice president, and Bush did no such authorization. Reasonable doubt, y'know. Hearsay. It'd never hold up to Law and Order standards.
