Associated Press TERENCE HUNT July 5, 2007 12:26 PM
The White House on Thursday made fun of former President Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, for criticizing President Bush's decision to erase the prison sentence of former aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
"I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it," presidential spokesman Tony Snow said.

CIA Leak Documents To Be Released

Source: AHNWashington, D.C. (AHN)-A federal appeals court will release some of the documents it reviewed when deciding whether to force journalists to testify in the CIA leak investigation for which a former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney was sentenced to 2 ? years in prison for obstructing.The ruling marks a victory for Dow Jones and The Associated Press, which asked for access to sworn statements that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald gave to justify subpoenas the court ultimately ordered for journalists Judith Miller of the New York Times and Time magazine's Matthew Cooper.The two news organizations argued that Fitzgerald never needed the testimony of reporters because he knew all along who outed former CIA operative Valerie Plame. Miller spent 85 days in jail in 2005 for refusing to testify; Cooper, meanwhile, testified under a court order.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the materials no longer needed to be restricted since former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, the original source for the newspaper article naming Plame, has publicly identified himself.
