Bush merely instructed Cheney to “get it out” and left the details to him, said the lawyer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case for the White House.

Get a load of this…It brings back memories of Cheech and Chong’s up in smoke album, where the defense lawyer says,” Your Honor, My client merely found the marijuana and was on his way to give it to the police when he was mistakenly apprehended.”

Pathological, Moi??? LOL

Well, they aren’t the first to think it … and be wrong. The Tripp / Jones bit was about the coverage, as stated here. Interesting that they picked out that irrelevant bit and ignored all the solid arguments to which

Libby, Cheney, Bush: The Wilson-Plame Saga Drags On

The revelation — or accusation — that President Bush authorized leaks of a classified document in defense of his rational for the Iraqi invasion has cemented opinions of Administration skeptics (here, here, here) and resulted in a shrug/it&…

The VRWC kept proclaiming over and over that it was the lying that made Clinton unfit for office. I would like a dollar for every time I read or heard that in a news report or heard some right winger from work echo those words. Now, you don’t hear a word out of them that a President who lies is unfit for office. Maha summed it up nicely. I think we need to coin a new word for HYPOCRISY because it seems to be meaningless these days.

It doesn’t matter if Bush broke the law. He broke the bond of trust with his deceptions and lies…and the results is thousands of lives destroyed..One positive result of Libby’s statement is that Bush’s credibility has been destroyed and can never be rebuilt… Mr. Bush has been firmly established as a lying sack of shit..

Oh…least we forget.. 2,300+( and rising) young Americans died in vain to prop up Bush’s lies.. Yeah, God bless America!

Isn’t “ignorance of the law is no exuse” what the commom people might hear if they were to break a law?

I’m not saying that if the President didn’t know he was breaking a law that he should be excused. The point is that WE, meaning the general public, don’t have enough information to determine if the President broke a law or not. Conventional wisdom says that he didn’t, but Dean is saying that’s a tad premature.

Thanks! Very informative posts. Pulls some important facts together. People like Stephen Hayes deserve to be called MEDIA WHORES. Of course Judy Miller was used in the same way. They’d plant a story with Judy and then go on television to quote the New York Times front-page story as an authoritive source. Of course this behavior undermines whatever little credibility there is in the mainstream media.

“So, based on what we know so far, we cannot say whether the President did or didn’t do anything illegal when he authorized the NIE information to be released”

Isn’t “ignorance of the law is no exuse” what the commom people might hear if they were to break a law? Or are we all under a new rule of law whereby its legal if we have the best interests of the country at heart?
