I. Louis "Scooter" Libby outed a CIA agent. He did it to distract from the lies made by the administration he worked for, namely Bush and Cheney, regarding the uranium from Niger.
There were no shipments of uranium from Niger to Iraq.
George Walker Bush lied.
He blamed it on bad intelligence.
If it was bad intelligence, then why did Libby out a CIA agent? Because it wasn't bad intelligence.
The truth.
The truth to men like Libby has to be contained. The truth is, there were no shipments of uranium to Iraq. Iraq had been disarmed by a very successful United Nations program.
The Bush/Cheney Administration manipulated the intelligence of the CIA. It was 'customized' for their purpose. There would be no other reason to build such a strong need to place this country in harms way by outing a CIA agent.
The people that toss this event as if it were nothing have no love for their country and certainly no regard for the people that place trust in the highest levels of government. Louis Libby outed a CIA agent and in doing so put our country directly in harm's way. He compromised the security of our nation.
The correct way of handling anything inappropriate, IF, that was the case, was to have investigations leading to trials within the agency. But. To out a CIA agent was strickly an attempt to discredit credible information about an administration that flatly lied to the American people in a State of the Union Address.
These men need to be impeached.
I love my country.
They don't.
