The White House, saying that intelligence agencies are looking into the matter, insisted today that the leak did not come from 1600 Pennsylvania

“We were not’’ the source of the leak, Dana Perino, the White House press secretary, said today – yet the White House certainly is concerned about it. “We really want American citizens to know that their government is responsive... and they should know their sources will be protected.’’

...

Asked about the leak reported today, Townsend said: “We do, we understand, and God knows we’ll learn more as time goes on… that the link to the site was (relayed) to the intelligence community, and the link was the part that was made public.’’

“Look, we are only going to be successful in the war on terror with the help of the American people,’’ she said. “Any time an individual or commercial entity cooperates with us… and doesn’t get the protection they deserve, that is an area for concern.’’ The Director of National Intelligence will be looking into the matter, Townsend said.

1. I call BS. If they weren't the source, they would have started "investigating" long before now.(nt)

2. A denial from the Bush Administration amounts to proof.

Sadly, whenever these people deny something, you can pretty much assume they did, in fact, do it. "We do not torture", for instance.

3. Really. you have to believe the exact opposite.

I remember Bush looking as sincere as he could right into the camera and lying about how he had not yet decided to go to war with Iraq. I assume they not only leaked the film, they hired the guy in it, because that is not bin Laden.

4. Never believe anything until you have an official denial n/t
