Soros on suicide watch!: House OKs cap on '527' groups' funds
WASHINGTON - The House narrowly passed a bill Wednesday that would sharply limit contributions to non-profit advocacy groups such as MoveOn.org and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which revolutionized politics during the 2004 elections with their ability to escape campaign-finance rules by raising unlimited cash from private donors.

Bush-Cheney are therefore guilty of treason for outing a CIA agent during war-time. Erect the scaffolding.

Yawn. Bush lied. Old news.

Are you missing the unique importance of this? He stood by the integrity of the his office as he was the leaker all along...he stalled the investigation, knew that cheney had a role, told in public that he would fire leakers and probably led to the exposure of wilson's' wife, and, last but not least, leaked only selective passages from the NIE to unspecting dupes like miller who he let sit in jail for months. And now they will spin it that he has the authority to declassify information, but since when is information declassified this way and why didn't he say that back then instead of taking the high road?

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., citing Bush's call two years ago to find the person who leaked the CIA identity of Wilson's wife,
Valerie Plame, said the latest disclosures means the president needs to go no further than a mirror.
