Bush orders officials to stop the leaks

WASHINGTON - Concerned about the appearance of disarray and feuding
within his administration as well as growing resistance to his
policies in Iraq, President Bush - living up to his recent
declaration that he is in charge - told his top officials to "stop
the leaks" to the media, or else.

News of Bush's order leaked almost immediately.

Bush told his senior aides Tuesday that he "didn't want to see any
stories" quoting unnamed administration officials in the media
anymore, and that if he did, there would be consequences, said a
senior administration official who asked that his name not be used.
