Looks like old Dick my be getting into some hot water and his
shooting a hunter
isn’t the cause of it:

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald should investigate Vice President Dick
Cheney and others in the CIA leak probe if they authorized an aide to give
secret information to reporters, Democratic and Republican senators said
Sunday.

Sen. Jack Reed (news, bio, voting record), D-R.I., called the leak of
intelligence information “inappropriate” if it is true that unnamed
“superiors” instructed Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter”
Libby, to divulge the material on Iraq.

Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record), R-Va., said a full
investigation is necessary.

“I don’t think anybody should be releasing classified information,
period, whether in the Congress, executive branch or some underling in some
bureaucracy,” said Allen, who appeared with Reed on “Fox News Sunday.”

According to court documents disclosed last week, Libby told a federal
grand jury that he disclosed in July 2003 the contents of a classified
National Intelligence Estimate as part of the Bush administration’s defense
of intelligence used to justify invading Iraq.

Well I am glad to see someone on the other side of the aisle take this issue
as seriously as the Democrats have. Just remember when the Republicans say they
are the party of national security that that claim stops on Pennsylvania Avenue.
