Through some superhero ability that only he understands, Cheney once again exhibiting he has a massive set of balls. And no, I'm not talking about Dick Cheney Shot a lawyer in the face-gate. I'm referring to his involvement in the Valerie/Scooter affair.
Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that an executive order gives him the authority to declassify secret documents, but he would not say whether he authorized an indicted former aide to release classified information.

Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, told a grand jury he was "authorized by his superiors" to disclose classified information from an intelligence estimate on Iraq to reporters, the special prosecutor investigating the 2003 leak of a CIA agent's identity told Libby's attorneys. The prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, did not identify who those "superiors" are.
Let's review, shall we?
  • Cheney did nothing wrong.
  • If he did (which he didn't), it fell well within his executive order, which includes revealing the identity of a covert CIA agent's identity, who was then overseas.
Yep, makes sense to me. And it makes even more sense that the public/media is more concerned about whether his hunting license is current. What a bunch of sheep.
