More On Cheney

Oh boy here come the fireworks. Reuters:
A White House official said on Thursday that national security adviser Stephen Hadley was not Woodward's source on Plame.If that's true, as far as I can tell, that only leaves Big Time.
Emptywheel has a must-read post on the critical timing of the Woodward leak and how, if it came from Cheney, it almost certainly represents and Espionage or IIPA violation. Cheney probably got his information from Tenet (despite Tenet's protestations to the contrary, according to people at the NYT anyway), and as Fitzgerald took pains to outline in the Libby indictment, Cheney knew quite well that Plame worked in counterproliferation which meant her status was covert. More on this later, but I'm thinking this will make for an explosive Christmas -- look for Bush to be doing some brush clearance at the VP's office before the SOTU in January.
..............................
With the year that Bush has had, he would be wise to shake things up. But seeing how Bush is so loyal and likes to promote even those who don't have the skills for the position will keep Cheney on. We can only hope he keeps him on, this will help bring Bush down and an end to his reign of power. We all know Cheney orchestrated the war, he snowballed Bush on it, and then outed Valerie Plame when Joe Wilson came too close to the truth. Its amazing how many things are going wrong with this administration and how many things have Cheney's fingerprints on them. They have lost the battle on torture but Cheney refuses to give up.
