BUSH: No excuse for anyone entrusted with vital intelligence to leak it...

[kpete]

Documenting more hypocrisy - What is YOUR excuse Mr. President?

............

Offering a spirited defense of his national security policies, Bush also said there was "no excuse" for newspapers to disclose a secret government program that tracked millions of financial records in search of terrorist suspects.

Bush said the program had been a vital tool in the war on terror when it was reported last week in the media.

"There can be no excuse for anyone entrusted with vital intelligence to leak it, and no excuse for any newspaper to print it," Bush said.

Bush's statement, which he read from a piece of paper during a speech at a political fundraiser, won a standing ovation from the Republican faithful who paid nearly $1 million to hear him speak.

8. Vital intelligence

as opposed to Official Secrets requiring FBI/CIA security clearance?

Playing with words here. "Vital intelligence." need not be classified he is telling me. If it were leaked by a person sworn to secrecy he (bush) might have an argument.
