are their any rats left on the ship or have they all jumped

so, they keep biting the hand that fed them for soooo long. now, i don't blame them for testifying to what transpired, but it still surprises me that they won't take one for the team and do a little time. instead, libby told investigators that the president knew, no wait, authorized the leak of sensitive intelligence information about Iraq.

now, there isn't proof, yet, that bush also authorized the leaking of Valerie Plame's identity as a cia operative.

Well the tricky thing is that they have esentially excused everything, because if the president auhorized the leak, then he effectively de-classified it, and therefore they didn't do anything illegal.

Or as Nixon famously said, "If the president does it, then it's not illegal."

For that hubris alone, he should resign.

I don't understand. So what if the president declassified it? Does that change the intent of the administration? They released her name to do harm.
