Libby said he was instructed to leak Plame's name. That means Cheney, his boss. No one else had the authority to instruct Libby to do anything. So Cheney has committed treason and he's hiding behind executive privilege to do so. Do you agree VP's can commit treason and not be held accountable?

Cheney's company Halliburton is in the war-making and oilfield business. Since Cheney was the most vociferous liar and exaggerator about the menace of Saddam and the need to invade, plus his own company had the most to gain financially (over 10 billion in no-bid contracts with no oversight or accounting) then this is clearly a very corrupt situation. It's also an alarming situation where a private company Halliburton becoems literally the boss of the US Army in a battle zone. And are Halliburton's priorities the nation's? Absolutely not. Also, many reports of gouging, skimming, over-charging and other crimes by Halliburton in Iraq and over 10 billion missing from our money over there.

Cheney also clearly lied, covered up and colluded in the massive energy gouging which started the day after he was nominated as VP. At the very least he aided and abbetted Enron and the other massive energy thieves.
