Hutchison decries leaks

WASHINGTON _ Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, reacting to the indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff in the unmasking of a CIA agent, urged against a rush to judgment in the case and suggested that the investigation was tarnished by news leaks.

"Constant leaks about a leak investigation are not only ironic but unfair to those involved," the Texas Republican said in a statement after a federal grand jury indicted I. Lewis ``Scooter’’ Libby for perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements.

...

"Out of respect for our system of justice, everyone needs to take a deep breath and not judge those involved until it has been proven they are anything other than innocent," Hutchison said in the statement. "Today's announcement is the middle of the process, not the end."

"The integrity of our judicial system demands an untarnished process void of prejudgments," she said.
