Outrage Overload: Part III
Remember Bush's overblown talk about how he wouldn't stand for leaks in his administration? Well, maybe he should have a talk with his VP:
"Vice President Dick 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."
Oops. I guess it's okay as long as the leaks are to cover their own asses. And speaking of asses, Karl Rove--who leaked the name of a CIA agent, endangering national security--should not still be working in the White House and should not have security clearance while under ongoing investigation. That's an outrage.
