    "Go Yourselfs'

    Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, testified to a federal grand jury that he had been "authorized" by 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 in making the case to go to war with Iraq, according to attorneys familiar with the matter, and to court records.

    According to sources with firsthand knowledge, Cheney authorized Libby to release additional classified information, including details of the NIE, to defend the administration's use of prewar intelligence in making the case for war.

    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, according to correspondence recently filed in federal court by special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald.

    Beyond what was stated in the court paper, say people with firsthand knowledge of the matter, Libby also indicated what he will offer as a broad defense during his upcoming criminal trial: that Vice President Cheney and other senior Bush administration officials had earlier encouraged and authorized him to share classified information with journalists to build public support for going to war. Later, after the war began in 2003, Cheney authorized Libby to release additional classified information, including details of the NIE, to defend the administration's use of prewar intelligence in making the case for war.

    I wonder if San Antonio's disgrace, and torture supporter, AG Alberto Gonzales will investigate this leak of classified information to the media? But, I won't hold my breath.

    Hmmm, "San Antonio's disgrace" is the US Attorney General while you are, well, lucky if a tabloid-style gossip blog will link a bawdy thread of yours about some fat chick's ass. Perspective. Try to have some.

    Yeah, being the Attorney General who's legal justifications will probably take down a sitting President. That's something to be real proud of. I wouldn't be surprised to see ole' Alberto be 'Cisneroed' after the NeoCons are done with him.

    I hope atleast one of your pipe dreams become a success so atleast you'd be around to eat crow in 2008.

    We wouldn't want you to slash your throat or anything.
