Tell the Administration to Come Clean

Politics drove someone to do a treacherous, potentially criminal thing: a senior administration official leaked the identity of a covert CIA operative. They endangered the agent’s life and compromised our national security in a time of war.

But as it became clear this week that Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove is a subject of the criminal investigation into the leak, the second Bush administration has gone silent. And its operatives have launched a cover-up and smear campaign against anyone raising questions.

This is bigger than politics -- every American should agree that this administration needs to come clean immediately about this leak, and any White House official’s role in it. The only way to pressure this administration is to show that Americans will not tolerate this -- and that every American regardless of party will unite and publicly demand that they come clean.

It's time for the White House to come clean. Any administration official who had a role in leaking the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame should step forward and explain their actions. Our national security is not a political tool.
