"I voted for George Bush in November of 2000 because I was promised a President who would bring a new tone and a new ethical standard to Washington.

"So where are we? The President has flip-flopped on his promise to fire anyone at the White House implicated in a leak. We now know from press reports that at least Karl Rove and "Scooter" Libby are implicated in these leaks and may have lied during the investigation.

"Instead of a President concerned first and foremost with protecting this country and the intelligence officers who serve it, we are confronted with a President who is willing to sit by while political operatives savage the reputations of good Americans like Valerie and Joe Wilson. This is wrong and this is shameful.'

-- Former CIA official Larry Johnson, in Democratic radio address. Listen.
