According to an inside source, Bush did declassify the National Intelligence Estimate, but did not authorize any member of the administration to leak information to the press. This brings us to 2 conclusions:
Either Libby is lying to save himself, or Cheney got Libby to leak the information as part of a petty vendetta against Joseph Wilson. In either case, Bush himself is off the hook.
Bush himself seems quite angry at Cheney right now, and this might explain the reason he is keeping Cheney out of his inner circle now. If Cheney is involved, I predict that he will be leaving office right after the midterm elections. This would serve 2 purposes - To get rid of a rogue, and also to groom the next GOP presidential candidate.
