LEWIS, "SCOOTER, " LIBBY INDICTED, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LEAK ?
The left has been foaming at the mouth for this entire week waiting with great anticipation for the announcement of the idictments that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fizgerald would take before a judge to have handed down from the 22 month Grand Jury investigation over the, "outing, " of CIA employee Valerie Blame. They were VERY disappointed ! The Vice President's Chief of Staff, Lewis Libby was indicted, (not a conviction as is being played out in the press, just a charge), on five counts that basically charged that he lied to the Grand Jury. Although this is not to be taken lightly for these are federal charges and a crime, the left did not get the, "fatal, " blow to the Bush administration that they wanted, (Karl Rove), nor has ANYTHING been charged concerning the reason for the investigation in the first place. Fitzgerald said that the Grand Jury has finished but the investigation is still open which as he stated is normal practice to tie up loose ends after an exhaustive investigation. Of course the press jumped on this stating that Karl Rove still had a, "cloud," hanging over him and the liberals in Congress said this was, "just the tip of the iceberg," for they want this to end in impeachment proceeding against the President claiming that he lied to get the nation into war in Iraq, a claim that has been continually proven false by evidence that Bush AND the liberals in Congress saw and AGREED proved the case for war. The fact that the Libby indictment was all that surfaced following a 22 month investigation is significant. The original reason for the case was the leak to the press concerning Valerie Plame a FORMER covert CIA agent. Her status as, "covert," was supposedly compromised but the investigation as has been widely reported for quite some time by the more conservative news outlets could not find ANY evidence from the beginning that her status was compromised in accordance to two laws governing covert agents established in 1917 and another in 1986. Additionally the indictment that was handed down did not concern the original allegation at all. Libby's charges are based on alleged false and contradicting testimony concerning the chronological order in which he learned of the identity of Plame. His testimony was that he learned it from reporters but papers the HE SUBMITTED suggested that he had learned it from the VP, a source from the CIA and another government official before talking with reporters. This chain of events seems suspicious as to his alleged guilt for why would Libby provide documents that would prove guilt unless he just did not remember EXACTLY how he learned of Plame more than two years ago! The goal of bringing the collapse of the Bush Presidency was not reached to the disappointment of the, "mainstream," media and the left. Both have been guided by the play book that brought down the Nixon Presidency over Watergate and turned the nation against Vietnam. The allegations against the Bush administration and the War on Terror in particular the Iraq theater of operations have no comparison to either the Nixon White House or the Vietnam war but to the left they are one in the same and their lust to regain power in Washington will continue to drive their agenda of political destruction at the expense of the American people.
