ADMINISTRATION Cheney Authorized Leak Of CIA Report, Libby Says
By Murray Waas, National Journal© National Journal Group Inc.Friday, April 14, 2006

Vice President Dick Cheney directed his then-chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, on July 12, 2003 to leak to the media portions of a then-highly classified CIA report that Cheney hoped would undermine the credibility of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, a critic of the Bush administration's Iraq policy, according to Libby's grand jury testimony in the CIA leak case and sources who have read the classified report.

There is a growing body of information showing that at the time Plame was outed the vice president was deeply involved in the effort to undermine her husband.

The March 2002 intelligence report was a debriefing of Wilson by the CIA's Directorate of Operations after Wilson returned from a CIA-sponsored mission to Niger to investigate claims, later proved to be unfounded, that Saddam Hussein had attempted to procure uranium from the African nation, according to government records.

The debriefing report made no mention of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, then a covert CIA officer, or any role she may have played in her husband's selection by the CIA to go to Niger, according to two people who have read the report.

The previously unreported grand jury testimony is significant because only hours after Cheney reportedly instructed Libby to disclose information from the CIA report, Libby divulged to then-New York Times reporter Judith Miller and Time magazine correspondent Matthew Cooper that Plame was a CIA officer, and that she been involved in selecting her husband for the Niger mission.

Both Libby and Cheney have repeatedly insisted that the vice president never encouraged, directed, or authorized Libby to disclose Plame's identity. In a court filing on April 12, Libby's attorneys reiterated: "Consistent with his grand jury testimony, Mr. Libby does not contend that he was instructed to make any disclosures concerning Ms. Wilson [Plame] by President Bush, Vice President Cheney, or anyone else."

But the disclosure that Cheney instructed Libby to leak portions of a classified CIA report on Joseph Wilson adds to a growing body of information showing that at the time Plame was outed as a covert CIA officer the vice president was deeply involved in the White House effort to undermine her husband.

A spokesman for the vice president declined to comment.

Immigration? Most Important Issue To Voters?

Hum, really? I didn't know that. This weekend I heard several Republicans saying over and over again that immigration was the most important issue to the American voters and all I could do was yell at the TV and say...NO, IT ISN'T!

Once again the Republicans with the help of the MSM is controlling the message for the American voters. I'll be the first to admit immigration is a problem but there is just so much more important things we as Americans should be concerned about.

Let's see, how about these things...

A President who lies more than he tells the truth.
A war for absolutely no other reason other than oil for cheney/haliburton and bush.
Thousands of needless American and Iraqi deaths.
Pitiful National security.
An economy in the toilet.
Trillions of dollars in debt that our children's children will be paying for.
A President who wants to drop a nuclear bomb on another country.
A Congress who is as corrupt as it's President.

A President who supports and uses torture, not to mention condones the rape and sodomizing of young boys by American troops.
A President who lies more than he tells the truth.
etc
etc

Please, people, do not let this corrupt administration dictate what is important to you. You know what it is and you must remember that when you vote.

On the issue of immigration, here's something to think about. Am I the only one that noticed how fast these demonstrations of supposedly illegal aliens got together and started these nation wide protest? Who orchestrated so many so fast? One day nothing and the next it was nation wide, everywhere. I believe this is a huge smokescreen. Bush gives one speech about immigration and BAM! it's everywhere. Every Mexican in the USA is protesting.

Don't be distracted from the important issues facing you and America today!
