BIGGER THAN WATERGATE

BIGGER THAN WATERGATE - Ted Rall

"Don't let the Republicans distract you. Treasongate isn't just about deposed vice presidential chief of staff Scooter Libby, who has been charged with five felony counts and faces 30 years in prison, or even deputy presidential chief of staff Karl Rove, who may soon be charged as well. The Libby charges clearly point to the real culprit: Dick Cheney, who told Libby about Plame's covert status in the first place. Cheney abused his security clearance to find out. 'Libby understood that the vice president had learned this information from the C.I.A.,' reads page five of the indictment."
