Straight talkin' George

Scooter Libby has admitted that he was authorized by his superiors (such as VP Cheney) to leak classified information to the press. He still doesn't say he revealed CIA agent Plame's name. These crooks insist they didn't reveal her name. But they obviously didn't have to. Saying "Wilson's wife works for the CIA" is all they need do. But they don't directly deny that they made any reference at all about Plame. That's too broad a denial, the kind they can go to jail for.

The recent CNN story on this added Bush's quote from early in the investigation and it got me thinking about how Bush talks. Yep, this is another one of those times when ol' George is telling you--in double-meaning words--precisely what he's going to do...

On September 30, 2003, President Bush said, "If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is, and if the person has violated the law, the person will be taken care of."

Not fired, not prosecuted, not punished. "Taken care of."

Well, George is true to his words. He's been working overtime to take care of these traitors--to make sure the law never touches them.
