In his forthcoming book, former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan reveals that five of the top figures in the White House knew at the time that Administration officials were responsible for the -- illegal -- outing of covert CIA agent Valarie Plame. The five include the President, the Vice President, the Chief of Staff (Andrew Card), and presidential advisers Carl Rove and Lewis "Scooter" Libby. McClellan also makes it clear that it was Administration policy to mislead the American people on exactly what happened, going so far as to outright lie. In response to this bit of information from her predecessor, current White House Press Secretary Dana "Deer in the Headlights" Perino issued a "no comment."
