A Bad Bad Man

You know how I said McCain is a bad bad man. Well, scratch that. McCain is just a bad man. Bush is a bad bad man.

In Court filings, Scooter Libby stated that President Bush authorized his leaks related to the Valerie Plame Affair. Great! So our president has turned into a Russian tyrant (ala Vladimir Putin) and is now seeking to destroy his enemies through the media. As President Bush does have the ability to declassify information, what happened may not be illegal per say. But the actions of the Administration are very clearly pushing the line of what is acceptable legal behavior. They thoroughly, in my opinion, violate the spirit of the law. At the very least, it is certainly unethical and very reprehensible. It is interesting that the Bush Administration chose to "declassify" such sensitive information about a political enemy's wife. I for one would advocate, at the very least, censure for Bush and Cheney if these allegations turn out to have even an iota of truth.
