WASHINGTON, July 12 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President George W. Bush admitted publicly on Thursday that administration officials might have leaked the identity of a covert Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent.

"I'm aware of the fact that perhaps somebody in the administration did disclose the name of that person," Bush said at a news conference.

"I've often thought about what would have happened if that person had come forth and said, 'I did it.' Would we have had this endless hours of investigation and a lot of money being spent on this matter?" he said of the CIA leak case.

"But, so, it's been a tough issue for a lot of people in the White House. It's run its course and now we're going to move on," Bush said.

Bush had said early in the investigation that he would fire anyone in his administration if they would found to have disclosed the former agent's identity.

"Go suck an egg! I don't care what I said about firing anybody who committed a crime. I did what you wanted, I admitted it, now go away!"

In other words, chimpy don't want to hear no more about it. He is the law, or so
he thinks. :grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

4. Until someone shows him otherwise...

he will continue to be the law. He has gotten away with it this long, why stop now.
