Things Coming To A Head?
-- by Dave Johnson
In a Letter to President Bush, several former intelligence officers call on Bush to put the country's interests ahead of The Party's interests. Fat chance.
Therefore, we are asking that you immediately suspend the clearances of all White House personnel who spoke to reporters about Mrs. Wilson’s affiliation with the CIA. They have mishandled classified information and no longer deserve the level of trust required to have access to this nation’s secrets.Go read it all. And send a copy of this letter to relatives.We also ask that you make it clear that any individual, who is convicted of a crime stemming from the leak of the classified identity of Valerie Wilson, will not receive a pardon. The refusal, so far, of I. Lewis Libby to heed your call for full cooperation with the prosecutor raises the specter that he will try to stonewall the investigation in hopes of ultimately being pardoned by you.
We believe that the President, in his role as Commander-in-Chief, has a duty to demonstrate the highest standards when it comes to protecting our nation’s secrets.
... If you take these steps you will be sending a clear message that your first priority is the nation’s security rather than your aides’ well being.
