According to the :sheeple: (http://journals.democraticunderground.com/top10/241) at DU, it is:
The Washington Post Editorial Board
The gentle cleansing of Dick Cheney's reputation wasn't the only example of the Washington Post carrying water for the Bush administration last week. Following revelations that George W. Bush lied about his knowledge of the leaking - I'm sorry, "disclosure" - of a classified National Intelligence Estimate in 2003, the Post ran an editorial titled "A Good Leak."
Excuse me?
"President Bush was right to approve the declassification of parts of a National Intelligence Estimate about Iraq three years ago in order to make clear why he had believed that Saddam Hussein was seeking nuclear weapons," read the editorial. "But the administration handled the release clumsily, exposing Mr. Bush to the hyperbolic charges of misconduct and hypocrisy that Democrats are leveling."
Handled the release clumsily? That's an understatement. And it still doesn't explain why Bush went on and on about hunting down the leakers when he was involved from day one.
