Bush</a>'s White House Press Secretary. In his most memorable press conferences, McClellan dismissed claims (since confirmed) that <a href="/people/353/000022287/">Karl Rove</a> had been involved in revealing the identity of a covert CIA operative, <a href="/people/634/000024562/">Valerie Plame</a>, as "payback" after Plame's husband, former Ambassador <a href="/people/323/000024251/">Joseph Wilson</a>, had publicly stated that the Bush administration's grounds for attacking Iraq were false.<p> Before having her cover blown, Plame had fronted a CIA operation that sought to prevent rogue nations from obtaining weapons of mass destruction. In his 2008 memoirs, McLellan wrote: <blockquote><tt> "I stood at the White House briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and <a href="/people/416/000045281/">Scooter Libby</a>.<p> "There was one problem. It was not true.<p> "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff, and the president himself." </tt></blockquote> McClellan's father wrote a book charging that <a href="/people/062/000023990/">Lyndon B. Johnson</a> was part of a conspiracy that led to the assassination of <a href="/people/113/000024041/">John F.
