WTF Is It Now?!?

Honor and integrity
Yesterday's revelation from Scooter Libby puts the Boy King at the center of the efforts to discredit Joe Wilson - and explains why he never bothered to ask his staff who leaked classified material.

"In shocking news today, the New York Sun reports that Scooter Libby was authorized by none other than President Bush to leak critical Iraq intelligence to The New York Times. The latest dope in the Plame Affair, according to Libby's grand jury testimony, was President Bush from a highly classified 'National Intelligence Estimate' and was given to a Times reporter in 2003."

Rep. Jane Harman, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee:

"If the disclosure is true, it's breathtaking. Leaking classified information to the press when you want to get your side out or silence your critics is not appropriate.

"The reason we classify things is to protect our sources - those who risk their lives to give us secrets. Who knows how many sources were burned by
giving Libby this 'license to leak'?

"If I had leaked the information, I'd be in jail. Why should the President be above the law?"

"If the president of the United States is authorizing leaks of classified material in order to destroy people who oppose his point of view, or go after them, then something is really unbelievably wrong with their standards, as well as the lack of accountability in this administration." - Sen. John Kerry.
