From aides to advisors, white House staff started taking ethics classes with mandatory lectures regarding ethical behavior and document handling. 3,000 members of the executive branch were required to attend the one-hour briefing. These grew from the indictment of Libby in the Valerie Plame covert operative outing. Just 36% of people in the US say Bush delivered on his campaign pledge to restore integrity to the White House. Scott McClellan refused to discuss a Libby pardon. "Given that Karl Rove is still reporting for work every day with his security clearance, I'm sure the American people will see these so-called ethics classes for the cheap political stunt that they are," said DNC communications director Karen Finney.
