Defendant’s Employment and Responsibilities

a. Beginning on or about January 20, 2001, and continuing through the date of this indictment, defendant I.

The new information that Cheney and Libby blocked information to the Senate Intelligence Committee further underscores the central role played by the vice president's office in trying to blunt criticism that the Bush administration exaggerated intelligence data to make the case to go to war.
The disclosures also come as Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald wraps up the nearly two-year-old CIA leak investigation.

This is another example of a group of idealogues who get defeated by the people over and over again trying to sabotoge the will of the majority. They have no ideas or platform. Their only outlet is to try to use partisan zealot prosecuters to try to drum up bogus litigations.

What majority you ask? The only majority that counts, the one that votes. If you'd rather believe weighted and spun CNN polls than election returns that's your failing. Oh but I'm sure you believe that elections are "fixed". Keep on believing that. Thus you will never get your party to accept the fact is has no ideals or solutions, purely adolescent whining.

There is a reason that that Republicans own the house, senate, executive, and shortly, the supreme court. Because you blue state elitists are a minority and will continue to lose in free elections (of course unless you cheat and have the dead or felons voting as is your legacy).

You can't even be serious? This administration has been full of questions. Mostly very serious scandals that faded like a fart in the wind.

During Clinton's 8 years, how much money was spent on investigations that were fruitless? How much Presidential time was wasted on questions that would have been better answered after his term had expired?

"Their only outlet is to try to use partisan zealot prosecuters to try to drum up bogus litigations."

I guess that door swings both ways depending on which side you are on, huh?

And if we could only have the same amount of wasted time, money, and effort investigating every little detail that the Bush Administration does then we'd have a fair comparison.
