And for those who believe Richard Armitage was the only leaker, and thus the investigation is a farce, don't forget that Robert Novak cited " two senior administration officials" as his sources. Armitage was one, so who was the other? Obviously Bush doesn't want you to know... Somebody else besides Armitage leaked classified information to the press. A law may have been broken, which put peoples' lives at risk, and the President is obstructing the investigation to find out if and who. I think it's time for George W. Bush to be held in contempt of Congress. |
I agree. Executive privelege was not created to protect criminals (as evidenced by the Watergate scandal) therefore, Bush needs to be told to get out of the investigation or get impeached.
