Former Asst. Attorney General Chastises Washington Post's Coverage of Bush Leak
Duke Law Professor and former Assistant U.S. Attorney General Walter Dellinger wrote a scathing rebuke to an April 9 Washington Post editorial entitled "A Good Leak," which defended George Bush's 'declassification' (leak) of portions of a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq, that bolstered the President's desire to attack that country.
"We don't know exactly what happened in this instance, and we don't know to what extent previous administrations engaged in similar behavior, but we should know this: No anonymous, one-sided release of misleadingly selective parts of a report deserves the accolade "A Good Leak."
