It's finally time for Bush to answer questions about Libby
Why not start with releasing the transcripts of Bush and Cheney's interviews with special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald?
By Joe Conason [2007-07-13]

  • Bush Can Run, But He Can't Hide From the Truth

    Thank you, Joe Conason. Everything you said is true. Bush does know that he did wrong in being an accomplice to the outing of Valerie Plame. He knows that Joe Wilson did the United States a positive service in discrediting the false story that uranium ore was moving from Niger to Iraq.

    But Joe, don't you recall the "mushroom cloud" speeches of Cheney, Bush, Powell, and Rice in the fall of 2002? These were made in conjunction with the monthly Cheney interviews that stated that Saddam was seeking yellow cake uranium ore from Africa (Niger was the country we later found out). Yes, these were all lies. But none of the four has apologized. No, not the President, not the Vice, not the then Secretary of State, and not the then National Security Advisor has ever said, "I am sorry for those remarks."

    These are proud people. And as we know, 'Pride goeth before a fall'.
