Sen. George Allen, R-Va., said a full investigation is necessary. "I don't think anybody should be releasing classified information, period, whether in the Congress, executive branch or some underling in some bureaucracy," said Allen, who appeared with Reed on "Fox News Sunday."

This could swing open the door to all kinds of fun, right Sen. Rockefeller?

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

Time for Dean to go Hunting with Cheney...:)

[Mercat]

I thought that at the time, Plame's status was not classified. In fact, it was on her kids' contact info at school? Why can't the MSM get that straight.

[LIConFem]

"Dean Says Cheney May Have Broken the Law"

..., he said in a memo written with a crayon stuck between his toes.

[Sam Cree]

The entire Democrat Party, and most of the Republicans, should resign for subverting the Constitution. So what else is new?

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

DEAN AND HIS BIG MOUTH, PING!!!

.

[Peach]

Have Allen completely missed that Libby's attorney has vehemently denied that Libby has or will claim that Cheney told him to out Plame.

[CharlesWayneCT]

But we've all read the report. The Executive branch declassifies stuff all the time, and releases it.

Congress has urged the white house to declassify stuff all the time. In this case Cheney authorized the declasssification of some information to be given to reporters to help them understand how we went to war.

[Argus]

Dick's got a load of double-aught buckshot with Howard's name on it.

[Polyxene]

Dr. FrankenDean violates the Clean Air Act everytime he opens his big fat mouth! The EPA should shut him down for emitting toxic waste!

[newzjunkey]

This story doesn't make any sense. But then again it's about Howard Dean, I guess that clears it right up.

He's claiming something has been claimed, assumed Cheney is the superior, claims the information wasn't declassified, blah, blah. Huge number of assumptions to try to score political points.

[HawaiianGecko]

 

"If Vice President Cheney has, in fact, ordered the leaking of political information — of intelligence information, that means he has to step aside,"

Since when did releasing political information become illegal?  Any moron with a MINIMAL amount of critical thinking must realize that leaking Plame's name was not against the law. If it was, Fitz would absolutely have to indict Scooter Libby on this count.

Dean is just demonstrating his lack of understanding. It's really an eye opener to find a medical doctor that cannot reason properly. I pity his patients.

Dean Says Cheney May Have Broken the Law---

What........ no license in Texas?

[angkor]

Fitzgerald should investigate Cheney and others in the CIA leak probe if they authorized Libby to give secret information to reporters.

It's not yet been announced by Fitzgerald - though memorably evaded by Fitzgerald - whether any intelligence violation was committed by anyone.

"Mr. Libby testified that he was authorized to disclose information about the NIE to the press by his superiors."

Fun fact: all classification (and declassification) authority is derived from the President Of United States.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 12958

CLASSIFIED NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION

Sec. 1.4. Classification Authority. (a) The authority to classify information originally may be exercised only by:

(1) the President;

(2) agency heads and officials designated by the President in the Federal Register; or

(3) United States Government officials delegated this authority pursuant to paragraph (c), below.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Didn't this ALL get covered already with the Merry Fitzmas that never came?

The only person indicted in Fitzgerald's investigation was Scooter Libby.

END OF STORY!

If Cheney broke the law, he would have been indicted. He wasn't.

Dean, STFU!

[TheForceOfOne]

Cheney should resign and immediately frog marched to jail!

Hey, anyone listening? down here! it's me Howard Dean!

Hey MSM are you listening? hello!

I'm the big cheese now, I matter! HELLO!!!

[Just Lori]

"We don't know if it's true, but he has been accused of it......

That's all the liberal media needs for a hangin'.

[jw777]

Release your gubenatorial records NOW, Dr. Dean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

[King Prout]

...whereas Howard Dean has been accused of setting heavily inhabited slum tenements afire at 3am, whilst listening to the techno strains of Moby and snacking lightly on sauteed PBA fetuses.

of course, we don't *know* that this is true, but I suspect it is likelier to be true than anything Dean says about anything.

[A CA Guy]

He did forget the newly required $7 stamp which Cheney remedied. That would be about it.
