As pressure built on his aides, Bush joked about the matter. ... <p>"I'm against leaks," Bush said, to laughter. "I would suggest all governments get to the bottom of every leak of classified information." Turning to the reporter who asked the question, Martin Mbugua of the Daily Nation, Kenya's largest daily newspaper, Bush said, "By the way, if you know anything, Martin, would you please bring it forward and help solve the problem?" <p>White House counsel Alberto R. Gonzales, who is rarely seen in public, has appeared twice with Bush since the investigation began, including during an East Room celebration yesterday for Hispanic Heritage Month. <p>"Everybody needs to have a good abogado," Bush said, drawing laughter as he used the Spanish word for "lawyer." "I've got a really good one," he added, to more laughter. "Al Gonzales is my lawyer and close friend." <p>*From Washington Post*
