The leak was attributed to someone in the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
I have not heard/read of any individual being named as the source, so
the "level" of the employee is a matter of conjecture to most of us.

I'd bet my Swarovskis that a great number of FWS employees would redden,
guffaw, or maybe even spit to be referred to as "someone in the Bush
Administration."

We seem to have made a leaping assumption here. Let's enjoy the air
conditioning and cool off a bit.
