Bush Reserves Judgement

Wilson has said the leak of his wife's name was an attempt by the administration to discredit him after he challenged its assertion that Saddam Hussein was seeking to obtain from Niger material to make nuclear weapons in Iraq.

Bush said Wednesday that he would not discuss the matter until the criminal investigation is finished.

"This is a serious investigation," the president told reporters Wednesday after a Cabinet meeting, where Rove sat near him. "And it is very important for people not to prejudge the investigation based on media reports."

How ... even-tempered of Bush! Maybe he's learned something from the Downing Street Memo and subsequent Iraq fiasco. I doubt it, but one can hope.
