Justice Department investigates leak
Tuesday, President Bush openly supported the Justice Department joining the investigation into who leaked classified information regarding the identity of a CIA operative.
In a July column, a journalist and CNN contributor revealed Valerie Plame as a CIA operative on weapons of mass destruction as well as citing sources working for the Bush administration. The journalist said no one sought him out to leak the information. He learned the name in the process of researching an article about Plame's husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson.
Bush does not know of anyone who would leak such important information and is confident the Justice Department will do its best to find the guilty person.
Blair stands firm with stance on Iraq
In Bournemouth, England Tuesday, England's Prime Minister Tony Blair announced that he stands by his decision to join with the U.S. going to war with Iraq, despite overwhelming opposition from citizens and his own activists.
A poll conducted showed 60 percent of England's citizens believe Blair lied to them about the seriousness of the Iraq situation and that Blair's office exaggerated the Iraqi threat. Intelligence officials have admitted that the Iraqi threat of weapons of mass destruction was misinterpreted in 2002.
Blair believes his country and the world are safer now that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. He said he maintains respect for any English citizen who disagrees with him, but reminds them that he would make the same decision again, if necessary.
