President Bush: Bad for America

Yesterday, it was revealed that it was indeed President Bush who gave the go ahead to Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff, Libby, to divulge national security information regarding a CIA operative working undercover, Valerie Plame, in order to discredit her husband, Ambassador Wilson, who was vocally critical of Bush's intent to attack Iraq.

A shocking revelation that isn't so shocking after all. The only shocking thing is that Bush was stupid enough to give the go ahead himself, thereby forgoing the often used "plausible deniability" excuse.

Here's a great quote by Howard Dean, from the Washington Post:

Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said, "The fact that the president was willing to reveal classified information for political gain and put the interests of his political party ahead of America's security shows that he can no longer be trusted to keep America safe."
