Quelle surprise, we learn today that President Bush not only knew about the Miller leak, he approved it.
Josh Marshall raises the question of the degree to which this was or was not illegal. Like so many of the adminstration’s acts in the last six years, it appears that it was really just shady and unethical, but still just barely on this side of the law. To which I refer you to an entirely reasonable point raised by Atrios.
This is the sort of thing that by itself isn’t really terrible, but really just adds more evidence to case that Bush et al are corrupt liars. Which means that after about 36 hours, it will be off the news media’s radar.
