Doesn't sound like he authorized leaking Plame's identity, though. Of course, if he authorized leaking of classified info, technically he DID authorize leaking Plame's identity if he didn't specifically forbid it. And then, of course, there's the argument that if the President says "You can discuss this info publicly", it effectively removes the classification anyway...which may or may not be true, and may or may not apply anyway, depending on how specific he was...
Basically, it sounds like what I expected all along. No malicious intent, just a bunch of idiots who !@#$ed up.
