Libby Links Cheney to Plame Leak
2008-06-04 09:10:00 by Jason Leopold FBI documents obtained by a congressional committee indicate that Vice President Dick Cheney may have authorized his former deputy to leak the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson. In a June 3 letter sent to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Rep. Henry Waxman, Democratic chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called on the Justice Department to release transcripts of interviews that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald conducted with President George W. Bush and Cheney about the leak of Plame's identity. Waxman said the Justice Department has turned over to his committee redacted transcripts of interviews that federal investigators conducted with former White House political adviser Karl Rove and Cheney's former chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. According to those transcripts, Libby told federal investigators that Cheney may have told him to leak Plame's association with the CIA to reporters, Waxman ...

2008-01-29 09:20:00 Anyone watch the State of the Union address last night? :: yawn :: I didn't. I try to not waste my time listening to Bush speak. Because in the end, all I see is a text balloon above his head that says blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda. The people who give him a standing ovation are hypocrites. Of course, that's just my lowly opinion. From what little I read in the news online, no mention was made of his over 700 incidents of breaking the freaking law or ignoring the flippin' Constitution. But yeah, let's be optimistic about our economy because he's giving us a few million in tax relief. Let's be happy he wants to drill the hell out of the Arctic saying he cares about the environment. Let's give him a round of applause for saying we are an anti-whaling nation but screw the whales and dolphins off the nation's coast that are being subjected to Navy sonar training. Excuse my language, but fuck him. (Not literally of course. Good God.) Will our next President be an...

Scooter Libby "Too Short To Ride Roller Coasters"
2007-12-14 10:56:00 SANTA CLARITA, CA...12/14/07 2:45pm EST...Former White House insider Scooter Libby met today with attorneys to finalize the dismissal of his appeal of felony convictions for obstruction of justice and perjury. After meeting for "several hours," Libby and his attorneys spent the rest of the afternoon "playing" at Six Flags Amusement Park. Stated Scooter, "I got candy and soda and pizza and tacos and candy and doughnuts and a funnel cake." Asked then why he wasn't riding any of the park's roller coasters, Libby responded, "They won't let me . . . I have to be at least four feet eight inches tall . . . but maybe next summer." Added Scooter, "I had a great time at the petting zoo . . . except when I almost got locked up." Quizzed about being "locked up," Scooter responded, "Yeah, I went in to pet the goats . . . and heard the cage closing behind me." Asked if he was frightened, Libby responded "No, my friends and I had the combination to the lock.".VIDEO BELOW: RON PAUL ON SCOOTER LI...

DVD Review: Libby, Montana
2007-12-02 19:45:00 With over 1500 people diagnosed and more than 200 already dead from the dangerous lung-disease asbestosis, members of the Libby community have paid a heavy toll for the vermiculite-rich mountains discovered near their rural city in Montana. As one Libbyite expresses in an interview included in the film: ”If you couldn’t read this in black and white, you couldn’t believe it.” Beginning in 1919, a vast reserve of vermiculite (discovered in 1881) was mined by the Zonolite Company, before being purchased in 1963 by W.R. Grace & Company and used until the mine’s closure in 1990. What directors Doug Hawes-Davis and Drury Gunn Carr seek to uncover in this exploratory documentary, are the reasons W.R. Grace & Company chose not to reveal to the public what they knew as early as 1956: that vermiculite dust is a toxic substance that causes asbestosis. Featuring a large amount of archival footage and interviews with local residents, mine workers...

Libby, MT, Asbestos Central [Angry Toxicologist]
2007-08-29 09:24:00 I saw a good documentary on Libby MT (the town that got pummled with asbestos from the surrounding vermeculite mines) last night on PBS’s P.O.V. program. You should check it out, there are rebroadcasts in most areas for taping it. Check it out here: P.O.V. What happend in Libby is really a good learning tale for two reasons: 1) It shows how evil corporations can be and how the employees can be blinded to that fact 2) It shows how toothless the EPA is when a company really wants to butt heads. 3) It shows how easy it is to forget the impact on people’s lives when you aren’t seeing them or listening to them but only reading about their issues on paper. Here’s one fact I always bring up to show how ineffectual the EPA can be. Asbestos isn’t banned. They tried but it got turned over in court because it didn’t meet the legal bar set by the legislation. You and I both know that asbestos is dangerous. If you can’t ban asbestos, a particle that caus...

MSM Ignores Higher Placed Clinton Officials’ Conviction to Tout Libby
2007-07-09 17:04:00 I keep seeing this talking point phrase in multiple MSM stories about the Libby conviction; “Libby was convicted in March, the highest-ranking White House official ordered to prison since the Iran-Contra affair roiled the Reagan administration in the 1980s.”(emphasis, mine) This is a misleading statement that makes the reader imagine that no high-ranking Presidential appointee, adviser, or member of the White House has been convicted of anything or sentenced to anything since Reagan’s era. But, at least one past official’s name should be placed above that of Libby’s. Henry Cisneros was the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, appointed to that position by President Bill Clinton. Cisneros, it should be remembered, was indicted in 1995 on 18 counts of conspiracy, false statements and obstruction of justice. Cisneros pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of lying to the FBI. Now, I’d dare say that Libby, who only worked in the office of the Vi...

Unspecified/unknown actions have taken place in Iraq prior to this time, perhaps even involving the removal of WMD's to neighboring countries. WMD's were found, but not in expected quantities. Dem's jump up and down and declare that Bush lied. Scratch head. Ah yes....WMD's were not the only reason to enter Iraq. Dem's want us to forget about that and focus on what they're talking about. Hmmm....someone has to pay. Let's question everyone, including the President's staff. Nope...not gonna happen boys.....they're my staff and don't have to talk to you. OK....so we'...

HILL SLAMS DUBYA OVER LIBBY PASS(really)
2007-07-05 07:11:00 July 4, 2007 -- IOWA CITY, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton defended her husband's controversial presidential pardons and commutations yesterday, even as she blasted the prison pass President Bush granted former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" LibbyDuring a campaign stop in Utah, the former first lady accused Bush of a Nixonesque power play to protect the White House, and claimed her husband's 140 pardons in his final Oval Office hours were different. "I believe that presidential pardon authority is available to any president, and almost all presidents have exercised it," the Democratic 2008 front-runner told The Associated Press. Just how her husbands 140 last minute pardons were different Hillary did not say. One difference would be that bill had 139 more than Bush. Another difference would be that besides Marc Rich, nobody really knows who Bubba pardoned. Black Dog has decided to publish just a short list to help clarify the issue. Key Clinton Pardons Henry G.

President Bush Commutes Libby?s Prison Term
2007-07-05 01:18:00 On Monday, President Bush commuted I. Lewis ?Scooter? Libby?s 30 month prison term due to the fact he thought the sentence was ?harsh? and ?excessive?. The former chief of staff to Vice President Bush did not receive a full pardon from President Bush but will not have to serve the 30 months in prison. Libby was denied his attempt to remain at home while his appeal was taking place by a federal appeals court in Washington but President Bush granted Libby a commute so he will not have to serve any of his sentence. The commuting did not erase the $250,000 fine he was ordered to pay by the court and two years probation. Conservatives that wanted a full pardon were enraged and critics of the administration thought it was another major contradiction of the way his justice department has been run. The administration had previously been taking a hard line when it came to federal sentencing. Senator Joe Biden said, ?Why is the president flip-flopping on these criminal j...

Victor Rita vs Scooter Libby
2007-07-04 21:54:00 Victor Rita has been mentioned quite a bit from the left over the past couple of days and for specific reason. You see, Victor Rita was (like Scooter Libby) found guilty of Perjury and obstruction charges and sentence to 33 months in Prison. Like Scooter Libby, Victor Rita argued that the sentencing was excessive. His argument went all the way up to the Supreme Court before ending with a judgement on the side of a judge. Of course, as I have mentioned quite a lot, an appeal isn't always just about an appellate court overturning the judgement, but rather making an assessment as to whether that judgement is within certain boundaries. The appellate Judge may personally have judged it differently themselves, but uphold the original decision because they can see the judges decision as reasonable. What the left is suggesting, however, isn't exactly quite true (surprise, surprise). The case against Victor Rita and Scooter Libby are not identical, and in many ways are not even similar ot...

Bush Libby Commute Argument Contradicts His Own Justice Department’s Argu
2007-07-04 02:17:00 In the world of 21st century America where long-held principles are long held until for political reasons they need to be thrown away ASAP, this should not come as much of a surprise: According to the New York Times, President George Bush’s arguments in favor of commuting Scooter Libby’s prison sentence contradict the policies of his own Justice Department. And lawyers across the country are rubbing their hands with glee, since they will start using some of the same arguments to try and get their own clients off: In commuting I. Lewis Libby Jr.’s 30-month prison sentence on Monday, President Bush drew on the same array of arguments about the federal sentencing system often made by defense lawyers — and routinely and strenuously opposed by his own Justice Department. But, then, the other cases didn’t involve a White House aide who worked for Vice President Dick Cheney. MORE: Critics of the system have a long list of complaints.
