Bush pledges to fire culprit for leaking CIA agent’s details

US PRESIDENT George W Bush vowed yesterday that anyone found to have committed a crime regarding the leak of a CIA agent’s identity will be sacked from his administration.

His chief political advisor Karl Rove has been held in the firing line after Time reporter Matt Cooper named him as his primary source.

The case has attracted widespread speculation since CIA agent Valerie Plame was named, apparently by Bush administration officials, in July 2003.
