Scott McClellan's Book Coming in April -- Admits Wrongdoing in
Clearing Rove and Libby in CIA Leak Case

By E&P Staff


NEW YORK

To no one's surprise in a world where top White House aides with any
president eventually write a book about it, former Press Sectetary
Scott McClellan will be coming out with his volume in April.

It's called "What Happened" and its publisher, Public Affairs, at its
Web site carries this brief excerpt:


"The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on
his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to
find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

So I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the
glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and
publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House:
Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.

"There was one problem. It was not true.

"I had unknowingly passed along false information.

And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were
involved in my doing so:

Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President's chief of staff, and
the president himself."


In its promotional material posted elsewhere, the publisher describes
the book like this:


"In this refreshingly clear-eyed book, written with no agenda other
than to record his experiences and insights for the benefit of
history, McClellan provides unique perspective on what happened and
why it happened the way it did, including the Iraq war, Hurricane
Katrina, Washington's bitter partisanship, and two hotly-contested
presidential campaigns.

He gives readers a candid look into who George W. Bush is and what he
believes, and into the personalities, strengths, and liabilities of
his top aides.

"Finally, McClellan looks to the future, exploring the lessons this
presidency offers the American people as we prepare to elect a new
leader."
