"WHAT IF" REPORTED

The ABC, not satisfied with reporting the news, engages in a bit of speculation:

STEPHEN McDONELL: In the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, there were claims and counter-claims about the country's supposed weapons of mass destruction. In this environment, former US diplomat Joseph Wilson embarrassed the Bush Administration when he disputed his government's assertions about Iraq's attempts to acquire nuclear material for weapons. Later, his wife, Valerie Plame, was 'outed' in the press as an undercover CIA agent. Some interpreted this move as payback. President Bush vowed to find out who'd leaked Ms Plame's identity.

GEORGE W BUSH, US PRESIDENT: If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. Ah, and, ah, if the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of.

STEPHEN McDONELL: But what if that person is the President himself?

Yeah, and what if Bush is really Kodos, or is it Kang?
