OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE???

Atrios found a great article by Murray Waas in the National Journal that raises the possibility that Bush falsely used national security as an excuse to prevent an investigation:

Current and former Justice Department officials, as well as experts in legal ethics, question the propriety of Gonzales's continuing to advise Bush about the investigation after learning that it might examine his own actions. The attorney general, they say, was remiss if he did not disclose that information to the president. But if Gonzales did inform Bush about the possibility and the president responded by stymieing the probe, that would raise even more-serious questions as to whether Bush acted to protect Gonzales, they said.

Does that remind you of anyone?
