US President George W. Bush vowed to cooperate fully with an FBI -led probe into whether White House aides illegally leaked the name of a CIA agent after her husband charged the case for war in Iraq was exaggerated. "I want to know the truth," Bush said during a brief stop in Chicago in his first remarks on the controversy. The US Department of Justice notified the White House late Monday that it was launching a full investigation into who leaked that former ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife was a covert agent for the Central Intelligence Agency. Wilson has charged that Karl Rove, approved the leak as retaliation for Wilson's public criticism of intelligence about Iraq's alleged efforts to obtain uranium in Africa.
