Bush Approved Leak of Iraq Arms Intelligence, Libby Testified

April 6 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush authorized disclosure of classified information on Iraq's weapons program to rebut war critics, a former top administration aide told a grand jury, according to documents filed in federal court.

The documents don't allege the president approved the identification of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame, although they were filed in connection with the investigation into who leaked the operative's name to reporters in 2003. The court filing by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald also doesn't suggest Bush violated any rule or law governing the handling of classified material.

The document described federal grand jury testimony by I. Lewis Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, who was indicted last October of charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to FBI investigators probing the Plame case.

In the filing, Fitzgerald describes Libby's testimony about disclosure to former New York Times reporter Judy Miller of a 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq's pursuit of nuclear materials.

8. chaney

has been guilty of something since he worked for or with nixon. Keep in mind that this is nothing new, and it will be interesting to see what plays out. That pnac or whatever it is started long ago, and their type of thinking will have to be given the light of day. The hardest fighting may be yet to come.

3. I have family that works in national security.

He had to sign a form that said if you ever out a CIA agent it is 10 years in prison and
will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. It would be considered treason.

Bush hired a criminal lawyer along w/ Cheney about Plame in the summer of 2004.

9. Security

If you check I think you will find that every military man signs something like that.

10. You are right .....

And he does work for the military ...... secret stuff and all that.

So is the President of the U.S. above the law that applies to every other
member of the military that he is commandeer of chief of?

4. This is why they wanted a "unitary" President...

To absolve him of guilt for outing a CIA agent which as we all know is TREASON!

6. Here's that "High Crimes and Misdemeanors"

If he authorized the release of her name without going through the process for declassification, as
written in his own executive order, then he has met the requirement for being impeached!!!!!
