Libby's Lies, Cheney's Lies

Irv Lewis Libby is a convicted liar and perjurer, guilty of obstruction of justice.

Snip...

Once upon a time, a former agent of Italian military intelligence named
Rocco Martino, who had had some experience in the African country of Niger, came into possession of some forged, fraudulent documents.



These alleged Iraqi purchases of yellowcake uranium in 1999. In fact, the signatures were of Nigerien officials who had been in power a decade earlier, in the late 1980s.

Snip...

Libby now began telling reporters that Wilson's wife was a CIA operative, itself classified information, since she was an undercover operative.



Snip...

The same administration that alleges it should be able to listen to our phone calls at will for national security purposes deliberately undermined US security for petty political purposes, making us all much less safe.

The likelihood is that the crimes of Bush, Cheney, Libby and Rove so far revealed are only the tip of the iceberg.
