i read the book, and my understanding is that whoever leaked it did it on purpose because she as becoming a useless agent, bullying her husband to work against the administration, which i would assume means she wasnt doing her job. i am glad she was outed, she seems bitchy and rogue to me. she and her husband later sued, which furthers my impression that they are morons.
I was thinking about that today. May pick a copy up tomorrow. I caught his interview on Fox. Pretty good.
It is against the law to expose a covert federal agent. It was a law the republicans had pushed for since they were convinced that only liberals would do such a thing. The CIA was screaming for someone's head over it and the matter permanently strained their relationship with the Bush administration.
Libby lied under oath, committing perjury trying to cover it all up. He screwed himself and fell on his sword to protect Cheney who promised him a pardon that Bush did not deliver, severing the Bush/Cheney relationship permanently.
saying the white house cannot expose agents is like saying a chess player should not able to sacrifice pawns. the white house is the boss, they figure out which agents matter and why.
Bush and Cheney had lunch together last week. Bush was the boss and Cheney understood that. There was never a problem between the two. The media's characterization that Cheney was the power behind the throne was crap. Only gullible kool aid drinkers lap that stuff up.
really because George H W Bush didn't feel that way... He called Philip Agee a traitor outing CIA operatives. What does that make Rove, Libby, Novak, Cheney?
You walked right into this one, Reverend Jim. I suppose you should read Bush's memoir. I haven't yet either, but it has been widely reported that: Then there is the matter of Cheney's memoir, to be released in 2011, but already his publishers are saying that it will be critical of Bush.
