LOL

Release of the NIE was not a leak. Outing of Plame, if it was in fact an outing would be a leak. Libby says Bush authorized him to release the NIE. Libby said nothing about Plame.

Pay attention.

The chimp Caesar seems to have a pattern of lying and claiming he's NOT doing exactly what he's doing.

1. Pimping the Patriot Act, he claimed he'd NEVER spy on Americans with out getting a warrant - while he was spying on Americans without getting a warrant!

2. He claimed that leaking was evil, leakers were "traitors", while leaking info himself in a crass selective way for purely political vendetta purposes.

So, what we need to looking at now is what ELSE the lying sack of sh*t claims he's NOT doing - because he's probably doing it.

Democrats Delusional Over This Leak Business
By Matt Margolis at 11:03 AM
While Democrats are desperate to mischaracterize yesterday's news as something much different then what it really is, that doesn't mean they can get away with lying about it. Even The Washington Post noted that when it comes to the issue of the identity of Valerie Plame, "[Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald] specifically said Bush was not aware of the leaking of [Plame's] affiliation."

Doesn't stop the Democrats from distorting the story...

The White House refused to comment directly on the court filing, except to point out that Bush's very decision to disclose classified information means he declassified it -- an assessment shared by independent legal experts.
A senior administration official, speaking on background because White House policy prohibits comment on an active investigation, said Bush sees a distinction between leaks and what he is alleged to have done. The official said Bush authorized the release of the classified information to assure the public of his rationale for war as it was coming under increasing scrutiny.

Also, the official said, the president has not been accused of authorizing the release of the name of Valerie Plame, the undercover CIA operative whose unmasking in a July 2003 newspaper column prompted the federal investigation.

"There is a clear difference between the two," the official said. "I understand that in politics these two can be conflated. And we're going to have to try to deal with that. But there is an active investigation and that limits our ability to do so."

Perhaps Democrats need to learn how to read a story and not just make up their own based on misleading headlines.
