Plame Affair: Bush meets—not under oath—with US attorney
Not that putting Bush under oath would make any practical difference, of course. But least they story doesn't say Bush "visited" with them!
Gee, was Sharp present? The story doesn't say. [But see below.]
Right. And OJ wants to find the real killer...
And from WaPo's coverage, a splendid non-answer from Scott "Sucker MC" McClellan:

"Pleased to share..." I bet.
President Bush met for an hour on Thursday [with the U.S. attorney, Pat Fitzgerald. in charge of] probing the Bush administration's alleged leak of the identity of a CIA operative, the White House announced.
Spokesman Scott McClellan also said Bush had retained an attorney, Jim Sharp, to represent him in all matters involving the case.

I take it that's a No? And from Bloomberg we learn this:
The interview in the Oval Office lasted about one hour and 10 minutes, McClellan said. [Bush] wasn't under oath. Bush was accompanied by his private attorney, Jim Sharp, a former U.S. attorney who heads his own firm in Washington.
"Pleased to share..." I bet.
