Over the last day or so we have been bombarded with threads claiming that "Scooter" Libby says that VP Cheney told him to "leak" the supposedly classifieds info to the press . You know who you are. Well to all of you that said this, you need to do a little thinking. "Why" would he say such a thing? To save his butt? Nope! He's not under indictment for leaking "supposedly classified info"! NO! He's under indicment for "perjury" That means lying to a judge or D.A. in this case.

"Bombarded"?

Two threads are a bombardment? As opposed to the probably 20 threads on the Muslim/Cartoon/Mohammed stuff.

In my thread I never said that he did it to save his ass;

"So yes, they did only leak a portion. It just so happens that in this instance, that the portions they leaked served to cast doubt on the credibility of Wilson."

And since you want to start spouting legalese. He wasn't only indicted for perjury. He was also indicted for Obstruction of Justice and for Making False statements.

Okay, but you still haven't answered the question. In none of your last statements say "anything" about him being indicted for anything even resembling leaking classified info. So he would have no reason to try and involve the VP, would he? Personally I think this whole pile of BS involving the VP is just that.......BS!

Seems like neither do you.

No one said he was indicted for leaking classified info. What's your point?

But he did involve the VP. For what reason, I don't know...but he obviously did.

'National Journal': Libby Authorized to Leak by Cheney, Others

By Greg Mitchell

Published: February 09, 2006 2:30 PM ET

NEW YORK Lewis “Scooter” Libby testified to a federal grand jury that he had been "authorized" by his boss, Vice President Dick Cheney, and other White House "superiors" in the summer of 2003 to disclose classified information to journalists to defend the Bush administration's use of prewar intelligence, according to an article posted today by the National Journal.

Reporter Murray Waas writes that this information comes from attorneys familiar with the matter, and from recently released court records. Waas has broken several stories on the Plame/CIA leak case in recent weeks for the nonpartisan National Journal.

“Libby specifically claimed that in one instance he had been authorized to divulge portions of a then-still highly classified National Intelligence Estimate regarding Saddam Hussein's purported efforts to develop nuclear weapons,” Waas writes, according to correspondence recently filed in federal court by special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald.



Seems like neither do you.


The day I ever wait "breathlessly" for anything on a messageboard is the day that I officially don't have a life. I doubt that day will ever come though.

Now you want to answer the question? I am tired and going to bed. After all, there is nothing here.

As soon as you identify what the question is I'll be more than happy to.

Maybe because people with brains realize this isn't going anywhere, and nothing would be better for Republicans running in 2006 than everyone tossing a fit about a lame duck President and Dems acting all holier-than-thou like they always do...

It's going to be really interesting to see if it truly plays out as you outline Baker. I could cite some polls that show that people don't trust the GOP in general these days, but people around here don't seem to take too kindly to those. So....we'll just have to wait and see.

My point is I think it's all BS! The thing is, that he has "absolutely" no reason to implicate the VP.

So it's all a lie? The court documents with the statements about Cheney from Libby are fake?

Seems you love to assume for everyone.  Do you also move their mouths when you put words in them?
