My criticism was based wholely on his failure to control his own adminstration and political appointees, which is definitely within his constitutional perogatives.

Have you ever read the Constitution, and if so, exactly what Constitutional power do you believe the current President has over this judge and his decisions? That’s a stupid remark.

How come the current 'Republican in the White House' hasn't demanded the resignation deputy national intelligence officer for East Asia Lonnie Henley who appears to be leading this effort? How come the current 'Republican in the White House' hasn't demanded the DNI produce a formal damage assessment for the material exposed in this case (like the one they demanded in the New York Times leak investigation)? While you want to turn this issue into an easy partisan talking point, the fact is Bush's protection of sensitive information has been horrible. He's repeatedly released information when it's politically convenient, restricted information that out to be open when it's politically convenient, and his enforcement priorities seemed more geared toward how much political damage results from an exposure rather than how much national security damage results. He's treated national security as a prop for his political agenda, and is that regard he's just as bad as the President he replaced.
