Bush & Cheney ordered the leak

[G.Irish]

he took an extremely sneaky way to influence the media which makes me wonder what else they may be hiding.

there's probably a LOT the general public doesn't know and probably shouldn't know 'for the good of the public' - there is a reason it's classified. I don't agree with how they approached this; i hope there's more to the story as this develops.

That kind of jumps out at me. It would be naive to think that there has not been a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that presidents have been doing that was illegal or at the very least improper. But the difference is they rarely got caught. The one that did ended up losing his office.

Bush's crew has been doing a lot of shady stuff but they're not doing a good job of keeping it secret. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that now with the internet information can spread light years faster than before. On the other hand one has to consider that some of this is due to the Bush Administration's incompetence.
