The latest example of: "If the president does it, It MUST be legal".... "Scooter" Libby has now testified before his Federal Grand Jury, that He was directed to "leak" the identity of Valerie Plame/ Wilson by Dick Cheney & George W. Bush; along with other associated "classified" info. While it is true that a president has the authority to "de-classify" information, it has to be done through the "correct" legal channels. In this case, Bush in NOW claiming that this treasonous act was merely his "de-classification" of "Intelligence" in order to "tell the American people the truth!"...Another LAME attempt to "cover-his ass"!! After all... "IF THE PRESIDENT DOES IT, IT MUST BE LEGAL???" That is the same philosophy which governs kings and monarchs.... NOT presidents!!!Bush is SO stupid, that he thinks "Checks & Balances" refers to his bank account!!! Historically, such flagrant abuse-of-powers has triggered things like "The French Revolution", The American Revolution", or the "Russian Revolution"!!! Meanwhile, Laura Bush preaches: "let them eat cake"!! "The wheel is still spinning, but the hampster is BRAIN-DEAD!!!"
