Iyow - in your own words

Lewis “Scooter” Libby, former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, has testified that President Bush authorized the leak of classified information to defend his decision to go to Iraq. Indeterminate is whether “Scooter” got that nickname as a child or an adult.

Extra troubling is that somewhere in there, CIA ‘deep cover’ agent Valerie Plame’s name got leaked. Plame and her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, have filed a civil suit against Vice President Dick Cheney and a dozen others for endangering the lives of them and their children.

Inquiring minds want to know, did George Bush approve the leak of Plame’s name? If he did, who’s going to get blamed for it?

And most of all, will being such a hottie help Plame’s case? We presume that’s why her pictures are finally flooding the Internet.
