We demand the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to investigate the "journalist" using the pseudonym "Jeff Gannon" who attended daily press briefings at the White House and was regularly called upon by Scott McClellan.
Obviously "Jeff Gannon" is not a bona fide journalist ... In 2003, top White House officials gave "Jeff Gannon" exclusive access to an internal CIA memo that named Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a covert CIA agent ... It is obvious that there was a conspiracy between "Gannon," McClellan, and other top White House officials to run "smear" campaigns against White House "enemies" and to interfere with tough questions by real White House reporters. This is unacceptable in a Democracy.
