Hadley Coy on Whether He's Woodward Source

Raw Story may have gotten this one right.  Hadely would not rule out that he's the source. From AP

" Little Mr. I can't comment on an on going investigation"

BUSAN, South Korea - National Security Adviser
Stephen Hadley won't say if he was the source who told Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward that Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson's wife worked for the
CIA. But Hadley volunteered on Friday that some administration officials say he's not the leaker.

Accompanying
President Bush at a summit here, Hadley was asked at a news briefing whether he was Woodward's source.

Referring to news accounts about the case, Hadley said with a smile, "I've also seen press reports from White House officials saying that I am not one of his sources." He said he would not comment further because the CIA leak case remains under investigation.

Leaving the room, Hadley was asked if his answer amounted to a yes or a no. "It is what it is," he said.

  •  I don't know

    What I do know is that they don't mind at all commenting on an on going investigation when it suits their purposes.

    •  I don't trust a word they say

      afterall, it was these same officals who said that Rove and Libby were not involved.  the fact that Hadley isn't denying this, keeps him at the top of the suspect list.

•  It would be completely

  inappropriate for me to confess my guilt -- that might interfere with an ongoing investigation.
