Emptywheel at FireDogLake provides us with the transcript:
Scottie McC: But the other defining moment was in early April 2006, when I learned that the President had secretly declassified the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq for the Vice President and Scooter Libby to anonymously disclose to reporters. And we had been out there talking about how seriously the President took the selective leaking of classified information. And here we were, learning that the President had authorized the very same thing we had criticized.
Empty's post deserves a full read and I'd like to add that Libby leaked some of the NIE findings to Judith Miller in September 2002.
