The White House has publicly admitted President Bush authorized the disclosure of pre-war intelligence on Iraq. But White House spokesperson Scott McLellan said the disclosure wasn’t illegal because information disclosed by the President is considered declassified. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, has testified that President Bush authorized him to leak a highly classified intelligence document on Iraq to the press in an effort to defend the administration’s decision to go to war.
