Libby: Bush/cheney authorized plame leak

postedby logan on April6th,2006 tagged politics

The New York Sun has a report today that Libby testified that first Cheney, then Bush authorized his leaking of the Plame identity. The power to declassify classified information is one of the president’s executive powers, so no big news there. However, King George did once publicly denied any involvement in the leak, and called for anyone involved to be punished. Does Libby’s testimony contradict our Unitary Executive’s claim? Did he lie (again) to the American public? Is Congress ever going to start acting like the equal branch of government the founders intended it to be, and investigate his royal highness?
