And the hits just keep on coming.

In an account of his testimony published yesterday, Mr Cooper said that neither Mr Libby nor Mr Rove revealed the name of the agent, nor did they mention her covert status. But the White House had previously denied that either man spoke to reporters about the issue. Mr Cooper also told NBC News yesterday that there might have been other sources as well for the stories.

Why is this story different? Is this an abberation of the normal behavior? Is this the odd time the WH made such remarks, or is this the odd time the WH has been "caught" or is this the odd time the WH is unable to spin it completely in their favor?
**news flash** This just on the radio right now
GWB has clarified his position on the investigation
"Now, I would like this to end as quickly as possible so we can know the facts, and if somebody committed a crime, they would no longer work in my administration."
Also:
"We have a serious ongoing investigation here, and its important that people wait."
EDIT: Got the quote right from another newsbreak.
<strike>ARRRGH. Sh*t. I was trying to type as I heard the item on the radio and missed the last part of the sentence, so don't quote me on quoting the President.</strike> The essence of the sound bite that I heard is that the WH is no longer content to let their previous stance on the issue go unqualified. Why do they feel the need to revise their remarks? <strike>(Hell, for that matter, what were the remarks. I have tried to scare up the quote and failed. I'm sure it'll be available soon, though.)</strike>
