Cheney and Libby cover-up to Senate Panel

Murray Waas posted this to the National Journal today.  Have a read.  But the first sentence gives the gist:

Vice President Cheney and his chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby , overruling advice from some White House political staffers and lawyers, decided to withhold crucial documents from the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2004 when the panel was investigating the use of pre-war intelligence that erroneously concluded Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, according to Bush administration and congressional sources.

If Cheney and Libby tell the truth in 2004, more people realize the war started because they were full of crap.

And Bush doesn’t come close to re-election.

So throw that on the stack.

New Linkage

Not between Cheney, Rove, Libby, and, I dunno, Aeshma Daeva, the great fiend of ancient Persian myth.  I’m hoping the whole story of how a multi-millennia-old Iranian demon from the Avesta manipulated the Vice President’s office will be in the indictments tomorrow.

Oh, wait.  That was Ahmed Chalabi.  I get them confused sometimes.  Anyway.

Just pointing you again to the Center For Inquiry West and their performance space, the Steve Allen Theatre, with links permanently added down the left.

This might not seem germane to Harriet Miers and Karl Rove and so on.  But the Center For Inquiry is devoted to rational thought and the fight against lunatic theocracy, largely because it often leads to grand human disaster.

So, um, if you look around… it’s pretty darn germane.

Plus, they do stuff in the theatre space that makes me laugh.  So there’s that.
