Scott McClellan: Sucks to be you.

This morning I saw Scott McClellan’s forehead glisten as he was getting hammered with questions involving the President’s role in releasing classified information. “Again it is this administrations policy not to comment on ongoing investigations.”

What strikes me about the issue is that the President has the ability when he sees fit to release bit by bit classified information at his discretion, to bolster his case, for his (political) gain, but can simply not disclose classified information that counters his arguments. This I believe is at the heart of the administrations arguments for getting into the Iraq war.
