When George Washington was a lad, he famously said: "I Cannot Tell a Lie. I was the one who chopped down the cherry tree."
That was nearly 300 years ago. Times have changed. And, look how low we have sunk.
Today, 300 years later, one of George Washington's most recent successors -- Vice-President Dick Cheney -- is spending a lot of time cherry-picking the cherry tree.
Right now, Cheney is trying to cherry-pick the torture memos of the CIA and the Gitmo guards to try to find examples of how and when American torture of prisoners produced any information that helped avert new terrorist attacks. However, in the immortal words of Al Jolson: "We Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet."
This is the same Dick Cheney who cherry-picked intelligence reports on Iraq in 2002 to "determine" that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction before we launched our "preemptive invasion" of Iraq. He rejected and suppressed reports showing that Saddam had no such WMD's.
This is the same Dick Cheney who sent out his assistant and henchman Scooter Libby to disclose the identity of an undercover CIA agent, Valerie Plame. Had a Liberal done anything like that, Conservative media flacks would have been screaming "Treason". However, since Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby committed the deed, Conservatives consider that to be "patriotism". Conservatives have a warped idea of what it means to be a patriotic American. Conservatives apparently cherry-pick their patriotism, too.

You ignoramous, Scooter Libby did not leak the name. You are such an idiot, and he was never even charged with that. WHy don't you read. It is common knowledge that it was your own "Richard Armitage". This is not debateable this what was discovered in court and is irefutable. Just keep telling yourself he was the source of the leak because it makes you feel good instead of realizing it was one of your own who was too stupid to keep his mouth shut. You are a perfect example of a democrat. Thanks for showing everyone how stupid you are
Actually, it was Dick Cheney who wanted Valerie Plame outed. If the proceedings against Libby are resumed, the trail will lead directly to Cheney. That's why Cheney was so anxious to have Bush pardon Libby.
Dick Armitage may have been one source, but Libby was sent out by Cheney to do the real hatchet job on Valerie Plame. It's important that Libby be brought to trial so the truth can come out.
Armitage WAS the source!!! Not, may have been..... What part of that don't you understand?
Why do you even mention what Dick Cheney wanted now? You can't win when staying on topic? Your point is therefore moot.
"If the proceeding against Libby were resumed...."
WTF? Maybe you should just say, "If a vortex to a parallel universe is discovered next week....."
Maybe you should disclose some undiscovered evidence too.
So tell me what was the crime? Was is leaking the name? I want to see what you say, because I bet you get it wrong.
WHy wasn't Armitage Arrest and Charged?
