After reading through the 29 page response filed by Scooter Libby’s attorneys this week, I uncovered something I found of interest. The response gives us a look into who may be called to the witness stand and what role their testimony could play. Firs up is Marc Grossman, former Under Secretary of Political Affairs. Grossman’s […]
July 30, 2003 – In a Rose Garden press conference, the President answered the following: Q Mr. President, you often speak about the need for accountability in many areas. I wonder then, why is Dr. Condoleezza Rice not being held accountable for the statement that your own White House has acknowledged was a mistake in […]
OK sitting here thinking about the revelation today of Bush authorizing the leak I have come up with something. Back when it was being reported that Cheney authorized the leak, one argument was regarding the declassification of information and if the vice-president has that power. It is clear that the President does in fact have […]
Well the Plame case has taken a very interesting turn: A former White House aide under indictment for obstructing a leak probe, I. Lewis Libby, testified to a grand jury that he gave information from a closely-guarded “National Intelligence Estimate” on Iraq to a New York Times reporter in 2003 with the specific permission of […]

Lawyers for Vice President Dick Cheney’s former top aide are suggesting they may delve deeply at his criminal trial into […]

Highlighting that option will open a drop down menu with the items listed. I have also added a contact us form which is available […]
It looks like there is still more intrigue to the case of Scooter Libby and the investigation by Patrick Fitzgerald. Editor and Publisher reported this today: Woodward suddenly revealed late last year that he had talked with Libby as well as another unnamed government official about CIA operative Valerie Plame, the wife of former Ambassador […]
With someone like Dick Cheney, a person who is on his third term as vice-President and has served for numerous other administrations, you would think he knew how Washington should work. Then again, you can’t teach an old dog new (or old) tricks: NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- A source described as close to the Bush […]
