OK, not like this was anything I didn’t expect. Former aide to Vice Prez Dick Cheney, Lewis “Scooter” Libby testified at a grand jury that George W. Bush authorized the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Libby, 55, testified in 2003 that he provided reporter Judith Miller with information from a classified National Intelligence Estimate after being told by Cheney that Bush “specifically had authorized” him to “disclose certain information in the NIE.” Libby also testified that Cheney specifically directed him to speak to other reporters about information in the classified NIE (which addressed Iraq’s purported weapons of mass destruction programs) as well as a cable authored by Plame’s husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson.
So, my only question…can we impeach the leech now?
