Granted, it would be ridiculous for the President to have to explain every minor detail of his actions throughout his Presidency. But when a law has been broken, it wreaks of guilt for the President to claim executive privilege in order to avoid cooperating with the investigation.

And for those who believe Richard Armitage was the only leaker, and thus the investigation is a farce, don't forget that Robert Novak cited "two senior administration officials" as his sources. Armitage was one, so who was the other? Obviously Bush doesn't want you to know...

Somebody else besides Armitage
leaked classified information to the press. A law may have been broken, which put peoples' lives at risk, and the President is obstructing the investigation to find out if and who. I think it's time for George W. Bush to be held in contempt of Congress.
The other was either Karl Rove or Scooter Libby but they didn't leak it they only confirmed it, once Armitage leaked the name no further leakage could occur.
