WASHINGTON -- Democrats are alleging that President George W. Bush is jeopardizing national security by not disciplining political adviser Karl Rove for his role in leaking the name of a CIA officer.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, a Republican, delivered the Democratic Party's weekly radio address. In it, he accused the president of going back on his word that anyone from the White House involved in the leak would be fired.
He said the president is "willing to sit by while political operatives savage the reputations of good Americans like Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson," instead of "protecting intelligence officers."
