SCHAKOWSKY: BUSH ADMINISTRATION’S MISSTATEMENT OF THE DAY – 
PREWAR INTELLIGENCE & 
LEAK OF IDENTITY OF CIA OPERATIVE
 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) issued today’s “Bush Administration’s Misstatement of the Day” following two remarks made by President Bush during his press conference today.

 President Bush said that the United States went to war in Iraq based on “good solid intelligence.”  However, according to recent reports, the Bush Administration may have overstated the weapons and terrorism case against Saddam Hussein.

And while answering a question about White House efforts to find those responsible within the Administration for leaking to the media the identity of an undercover CIA agent, President Bush said, “I’d like to know.”  However, President Bush has refused to ask White House staff to sign affidavits denying their involvement  in the leak.  The President has also refused to ask Attorney General Ashcroft to recuse himself since he is closely tied to members of the Bush White House who may be responsible for the leak.
