Word-for-word excerpt from the Philadelphia Inquirer:
Bush orders officials to stop the leaks
By Joseph L. Galloway and James Kuhnhenn Inquirer Washington
Bureau
WASHINGTON - Concerned about the appearance of disarray and
feuding within his administration as well as growing resistance
to his policies in Iraq, President Bush - living up to his
recent declaration that he is in charge - told his top officials
to "stop the leaks" to the media, or else.
News of Bush's order leaked almost immediately.
Bush told his senior aides Tuesday that he "didn't want to see
any stories" quoting unnamed administration officials in the
media anymore, and that if he did, there would be consequences,
said a senior administration official who asked that his name
not be used.
