Scooter Libby has testified that he gave information from a closely-guarded "National Intelligence Estimate" on Iraq to former New York Times reporter
Judith Miller in 2003 with the specific permission of
President Bush.
Murray Waas writes: "One former senior government official said that both the president and [Vice President Dick] Cheney, in directing Libby to disclose classified information to defend the administration's case to go to war with Iraq and in formally declassifying portions of the NIE later, were misusing the classification process for political reasons." (The Smoking Gun has
documents.)
