What's the Scooter Libby trial all about? Jane has the answer.
1. The administration lied us into war and tried to abuse its power to punish the whistleblower who told the American public the truth.2. Scooter is the firewall to Shooter.
3. Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby and other members of the administration conspired to keep federal investigators from uncovering their crimes.
4. The media was complicit in spreading administration propaganda rather than doing investigative journalism, and are now helping to set the table for a pardon.
5. The journalistic standards that have been exposed in the case (witness Tim Russert, Judy Miller, Andrea Mitchell, Robert Novak and others) are reprehensible, and have undermined the public trust in the media.
6. The degree to which this story about the lies that lead to war has been ignored by the media (relative to the feeding frenzy over a Clinton blowjob) left a huge opening that the blogs have filled.
The key here is Dick Cheney, who is unremorseful that he essentially defrauded the American public into a war of choice that let Al Qaeda get stronger. In fact, Cheney today said that Speaker Pelosi's Iraq plan would 'validate Al Qaeda'.
Pelosi called to complain to Bush, who told her through minions that he agrees with Cheney. It's time that Democrats take the gloves off as Carol Shea-Porter did. Don't complain to Bush that Cheney is being mean. Just say something like the following when Cheney says that Democrats will 'validate Al Qaeda'.
'He should know. It's his war in Iraq that has helped Al Qaeda more than Osama Bin Laden ever dreamed possible.'
It's very possible that Scooter Libby will be found guilty. It's important that Cheney feel pressure from Democrats on his irresponsible, immoral, and in all likelihood his criminal behavior.
