Indictment sparks political tempest

snip

Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff resigned Friday after he was indicted by a grand jury, accused of obstructing its investigation and lying about an effort to blow the CIA cover of an Iraq war critic's wife.

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby wasn't indicted specifically for the leak, but special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald left little doubt that he believed Cheney's top aide learned Valerie Plame's classified identity from the CIA, State Department and his own boss, and then revealed it to reporters.


Not bad. There was NO mention of the coming indictment press conference in yesterday's paper.

Indictment Adds to White House Woes
By RON FOURNIER
Published: Saturday, October 29, 2005 5:51 AM CDT

WASHINGTON - These are dark days for the White House. And they could get darker. Less than a year after winning re-election by a comfortable margin, President Bush's approval ratings are at the lowest since he took office in 2001 and he is being whipsawed this week by events, some of his own making.

_The U.S. death toll in Iraq hit 2,000 on Tuesday, a fresh reminder of the president's push to war over weapons of mass destruction that were never found.
_A special prosecutor took aim at White House officials in an investigation into the leak of a CIA agent's identity, a disclosure that may have been part of a campaign to discredit an Iraq war critic. The vice president's chief of staff was indicted on five felony counts Friday, although top aide Karl Rove escaped charges for now.

_An insurrection of the president's conservative political base forced the withdrawal of Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers on Thursday.

_Consumer confidence dropped, home sales were down and the number of people who lost their jobs because of Hurricane Katrina climbed above the half-million mark.

Top Cheney aide indicted

The CIA leak case underscores a basic truth about Washington scandals: It's not who did what to whom, it's the cover-up.

6. we need headlines/frontpieces from clinton era!

poor clinton! he must look with total contempt upon the country he tried to serve! noone is forcing these rightwing dupes to aid/abet the worst enemy the usa has ever confronted, but they do it on their own, year after year! their own reactions and promotions of the 'scandal' of the clinton era should be rubbed in their faces, everywhere, in contrast to the mild interest displayed in bush's crimes.
