So Libby has been indicted. Does anyone think they'll have the balls to go after Cheney?

Did Cheney brake the law?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Libby was charged with 5 counts:
2 Perjury
2 Making false statements
1 Obstruction of Justice

Cheney and Libby withheld 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.

Libby told Fitzgerald that he first learned Plame's identity from Tim Russert. However, his own notes show that it Dick Cheney who first clued him in about Plame.

How do you know this? I think this is just an opinion. If this was fact, Cheney would be indited today.

How do I know about this? I read papers, watch the news, read blogs, listen to the radio and pay attention to what people are saying. I doubt Cheney will be indicted. Bush and he have lied numerous times and people seem unwilling to call them on it.

Notes in the hands of a federal prosecutor suggest that Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, first heard of the CIA officer from Cheney himself, The New York Times reported in Tuesday's editions.

So have I. You get back what you put in. I don't believe most of what is in the news because of the hate for Bush. Hate is poison and anyone who hates cannot see the truth. I don't know, you maybe right. This independent prosecutor seems to be more above this hate thing. If someone like Cheney has done a crime, I hope this guy gets him.

I suggest looking at news sources from multiple countries and different perspectives. Anyone who takes all their info from one source is likely to be misinformed. As for the media hating Bush, Bush has escaped major scandel because for the first time in a long time the media seems to be afraid of bush. They may make fun of him, but with all the oportunities presented to them, the media have failed to actually pursue stories on Bush as they did with Nixon, Reagan or Clinton.

People say the media hate Bush, I think they are afraid of him, why the hesitancy? As for people who cry about the 'liberal media', I think that falacy was exposed in the liberal media bias thread. (Can anyone find that for me)?

Time will tell, but I believe Libby and Rove will be hung out to dry like Tenet and the head of Fema were.

Well for all purposes I do hope someone higher up gets the axe.......oh and Media is alot of liberal mess....

Fear is just as blinding as hate.

I am sorry if I was too vague. I was just supporting my comment that I do not trust most of the media because they are blind to the truth.

PLease enlighten me to your idea of truth.

It is easier to know where the truth cannot be found than to know what the truth is.

How you look at other people is what you think of yourself.

It is easier to give vague, zen-like answers than to commit to saying anything of value.
