bush tries to hide cheney's dickery

any time that dubya claims executive privilege, you can be sure of one thing: he's trying to keep one of his staffers out of jail. in this case, vp tricky dickless (aka dick cheney).

it's no secret to anyone in dc that scooter libby was not the original source of the valerie plame leak, and that dubya pardoned him to keep the real source from becoming public. it's also no secret why karl rove refuses to testify before congress about it. (in fact, he ignored the subpoena outright.)

congress should continue to bring to light, by any means at its disposal, exactly what rove and dickless's roles were in this crime, and to prosecute them for any crimes they are found to have committed. for 7 years, this administration seems to have held the opinion that its members are above the law. it's time to remind them - and the rest of the country - that we don't play the divine right of kings here in the u.s.
