		<description>This whole thing was politically motiviated from the get go...there&#039;s some responsibility and questionable actions from all parties.  Personally, I think it was a witch hunt...Plame was not a covert operative...and Wilson with a long time Democrat affiliation had an agenda to defame.
What a waste of time!!  And, McClellan, YOU COULDN&#039;T PAY ME TO READ YOUR BOOK!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I always liked Scott, though one could read the subtle signs of a tumultous battle of emotions inside him whenever he was on the podioum - knowing that he was being used to put a spin on a corrupt and crooked regime.

Bravo Scott ! You&#039;re doing what is right!</description>

		<description>Whoa..  You people read ONE article and think it is the gospel.  You really should do some research before you show your ignorance..  Try reading the post from JB Boston MA : November 21, 2007 4:16 pm, he has most of the facts that I have seen.  Stop reading your news from the Daily Kos and maybe you will get the whole story.</description>

		<description>Why won&#039;t CNN tell us why the Federal Prosecutor did not charge Rove, Cheney or Bush with anything?  Could it be because they are innocent?</description>

There are those of us who know you and your wife are victims of this administration simply for telling the truth. Something this administration has a hard time with.</description>

		<description>I agree and congress needs to do its duty and set up a special prosecutor, and investigate whether the allegations are true and if so, do they meet the criteria for an impeachment.</description>

		<description>Sorry Mr. Wilson but one has to question the integrity of a man who leaks this information only after he has a book scheduled to be published.

I might believe the leaked statement if it had come sooner and didn&#039;t look like free publicity for a book.  The fact Mr Wilson didn&#039;t catch this question yet another political figures level of intelligence.</description>

		<description>Do you know what makes me really mad... people all of a sudden speaking out in their books. If Scott McCellan really had a conscience he would have spoken out before he wrote a book... same goes for George Tenet. Ah!! but then they couldn&#039;t make any money because people wouldn&#039;t give one iota about their books. I don&#039;t understand why anyone would waste their money on books written by people who are just as low as those they write about.</description>

		<description>Why this story has 0 comments? Is someone from the White House telling CNN that zero number so that the readers can ignore this story? I see more than 20 comments. CNN please correct that number or else I consider you in the same category as CBS, ABC, and FOX.</description>

		<description>Look, I dislike Bush as much as the next guy, but these two (Plame/Wilson) whining pathetic peeople need to go away.  

In order for it to be treason, the person needs to have been undercover in the past 5 years.  THAT DID NOT HAPPEN!

Wilson claimed Cheney sent him.  THAT WAS NOT TRUE.  When someone asked, &quot;well then who sent him&quot;, the response was &quot;well, his wife works for the CIA&quot;

That is not outing.  That is the truth.  That is how he got sent.  End of story.

Now, I am just an in the dark citizen who reads alot, and hopes that the info I am getting is accurate (from many different sources including NPR/CNN/Fox/MSNBC/BBC).  This is what I believe to be accurate, and therefore this is not a story to me.  

Now of course there is a big chance this is not how it went, but, everyone has got to learn as much as they can then make a decision.  

Don&#039;t hold your breath for an impeachment, at least on this issue.</description>

		<description>I love how everyone on here is so sure of what happened.  I mean i could ponder and make theories too and some maybe close but lots of people on here sound like they were in the room when the decision was made.  Well because you all have such a level of knowledge perhaps you should testify before congress!!!!</description>

		<description>You know, it&#039;s our own fault that this happened. We are the ones that voted this arse into office--TWICE.
All we can do now is wait for another 14 months for this nightmare to be over and be sure we don&#039;t make mistakes like this again. This goes for both Red states and Blue states, White states and Black states. Impeachment now would just be a waste of taxpayer money. It takes years for this type of procedure to unfold and you know Bushie and his cronies will attempt every underhanded move available to them to block it and save face for themselves. 14 months isn&#039;t near long enough.
We need to start looking at the unprecedented option of charging a &#039;former&#039; president with crimes against the state. We can&#039;t let this criminal off the hook to fade away into revered retirement.</description>

		<description>Read the new story above, where the publisher of McClellan&#039;s book is clarifying the &quot;teaser&quot; that has been sent out to promote book sales.

Same thing happened when Alan Greenspan&#039;s book came out.  He spent several days un-doing the &quot;teaser&quot;.

Book teasers are taken out of context and do not fully disclose what the writer has REALLY said in the book.  They are intended to be &quot;sensational&quot;, but they fail on merit.

He who opens mouth and comments based on a book teaser is doomed to look rather foolish when the whole book is revealed.</description>

		<description>The best you right-wing nutjobs can muster on this story is a long &quot;yawn&quot;?

You&#039;ve supported this lying and treasonous administration up to this point.  Why not now?  Does this treachery finally overstep even your poorly defined and partisan-serving limits?  

Pathetic...from George, Dick, Donald, Carl...down to Robert, the mindless right-wing reporter who gloatingly spread the outing...down to all you mindless Republican twits who continued to blame everyone for this story, except the very people who deserved it.

Talk about lack of personal responsibility!</description>

		<description>AND NOW SOME WANT THIS LIAR

Rudy Guliani was too busy before 9-11 protecting the interests of Kerik who is now under federal indictment.He knew about his mafia connections and kickbacks.
He was protecting his friend - a pedophile preist.
He got kickbacks from the company that made defective radios that firemen had to use.
He was seeing another women while married.
No wonder he did not protect Americans before 9-11.</description>

		<description>By commuting Libby&#039;s sentence hurriedly, Libby lost all the urge to shed more light on the case. In short, Bush and Cheney made him shut-up. Libby should have gone to jail for sometime to get commuted. I bet no republican has come forward to protest this. But, on Clintons private affair which in no way affecting national security, these right wingers came attacking Clinton for impeachment. Hypocrites!</description>

		<description>It was simply treason. 
And the cover-up, lies and Bush&#039;s clemency for the perjurer and co-conspirator Libby makes it look like the White House is a criminal enetrprise.
Why do Republicans hate America?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s amazing that anyone with half a brain could conceive that the leaking of Valerie Plame&#039;s name to the various news outlets in an effort to smear Ambassodor Wilson&#039;s name could have come from anyone else than Dick &quot;Vader&quot; Cheney.  Also if dirty tricks are involved, can Karl Rove be far behind.  The lengths that this corrupt administration will go to further the corporate evil in this country is amazing.  GW, Cheney, Rove, Rummey, Condi and the rest of these bastard should be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity for this illegal and immoral war in Iraq.  They also should be charged with the crimes and misdemeanors for the corporate &quot;crap&quot; that is rooted in the likes of Halliburton and the oil companies not to mention the rape of the Constitution and civil liberties.  I think it is truly amazing that people are paying $3.50/ gallon when their corporate oil cronies are posting billion dollar profits.  

Shame, shame, shame.</description>

		<description>Now we hear from a White House insider that Bush, Cheney and Rove were not truthful regarding the outing of Valerie Plame. It is time to hold these people accountable for their actions. They want a secret government where they can break laws with impunity. Folks, the government belongs to us, the people, not to the bunch of creeps occupying the White House. It is time to start impeachment hearings. The more this transpires, the more Bush looks like Nixon and Cheney looks like Agnew. Time to throw the bums out!</description>

		<description>The behavior of the Bush administration has been disgraceful from the very beginning. Bush is a neo-conservative with Nixonian ethical standards.

Democratic administrations have used sleazy tactics to punish their opponents, to their shame. Lyndon Johnson&#039;s efforts to intimidate the opponents of the War in Vietnam comes to mind as a good example of a bad example.

Shortly after Harry Truman assumed the presidency after Roosevelt&#039;s death, he was reading the folder of papers that was delivered to the President every morning, to update him on recent events. Pres. Truman found himself reading about an extra-marital affair that the wife of a Republican senator was having. After a paragraph or two Truman asked, &quot;Why am I reading this?&quot; He was told that President Roosevelt liked to be kept aware of such things. Truman replied (I&#039;m paraphrasing), &quot;I do not wish to see this kind of material again. See that the federal employees who collected this are given other assignments.&quot;

Ah Harry, where are you when we need you.</description>

		<description>If a member of the CIA or military had leaked that kind of information on an agent...it would be considered TREASON. And they would be handled accordingly.  Why should the White House be any different.  This is a serious breach...not an incident or error in judgement.  This was the planned, and executed release of an agent whose identify was classified: TOP SECRET...everyone involved should receive appropriate punishment and humiliation any  executive or staffer would recieve in any other government agency for intentionally releasing TOP SECRET information.  Anything else is BS.  This event..truly  crossed the line and put American lives at risk...the culprits (even if old smurk and fart himself GW) should be prosecuted to the maximum extent.  The ONE entity an operative in the field should be able to trust is the WHITE HOURSE--when that is in question--our whole intelligence community is in jeopardy!  Even..GW&#039;s  Daddy has been silent...for once ..wasn&#039;t he in the CIA.  Wake up America!!</description>

		<description>I guess that explains why Cheney and his henchmen would only testify off-the-record, and not under oath. I sincerely hope everyone, at election time, remembers the names of all the remaining Republicans still in office, who supported these criminals throughout their ravaging of America. It&#039;s a shame that these crooks will probably be allowed to complete their terms and collect their benefits -at the taxpayers&#039; expense.</description>

		<description>It continues to infuriate me that Bush, Cheney and Rove got away with ruining Valerie Plame&#039;s career to punish dissent and with disclosing the identity of a CIA agent which must have compromised our intelligence efforts abroad.  By commuting Scooter Libby&#039;s sentence, Bush ensured that Libby would not sing.  Of course they deliberately lied to Scott McClellan who was left looking like a fool.  If you remember, when Scooter Libby was indicted, it appeared that Karl Rove would too be indicted that day, but then Rove shared some &quot;secret information&quot; with Patrick Fitzgerald, and whatever that was caused Fitzgerald not to indict Rove, probably because Rove was given a direct order by Bush and/or Cheney to leak the information and thus, Fitzgerald felt Rove could not be convicted.  Right now it appears that evil has triumphed but I still remain hopeful that somehow good will still prevail here.</description>

Right now it appears that evil has triumphed but I still remain hopeful that somehow good will still prevail here.</p>

		<description>No surprise! There has been no honesty in any part of this administration or presidency. Six years ago we lost all credibility around the world and this is just one more reason why.</description>

		<description>I bet McClellan&#039;s lawyers have already told him that he was never briefed at a level that would have made him liable in this lawsuit, and that he can&#039;t be made to testify. So he&#039;s safe in releasing his &#039;opinion,&#039; which is that he was used and made a fool and a screen.</description>

		<description>IMPEACH CHENEY AND BUSH NOW!!!  This DOES rise to the &#039;high crimes and misdemeanors&#039; required to impeach.  Since, as Bush and Cheney continuously remind us, we are in a time of war, the punishment for this crime can be as high as death.  I&#039;m not advocating that, but a nice long stretch in Leavanworth would be appropriate.</description>

		<description>It may be unfair to generalise from the actions of two individuals--George Bush and Dick Cheney--to the attitude of the political party of which they are members...but I&#039;m going to anyway.

It looks to me like it&#039;s an attitude of self-righteousness, of &quot;the end justifies the means,&quot; even when those means include lying, wholesale and retail, to the American public.  The truly enormous lie about the &quot;weapons of mass destruction&quot; used to justify a war that makes, and made, no sense in terms of national policy but may have satisfied a neoconservative need to attack their perception of &quot;evil&quot; in defense of their perception of &quot;good&quot;--a revisitation of the Crusades of a thousand years ago.  The ancillary string of lies concerning Ms Plame, first in self-righteous retribution fo the &quot;sin&quot; of disbelief on the part of Mr Wilson and subsequently, no doubt with a Jesuit&#039;s cross-your-fingers &quot;mental reservation&quot; in defense of those who sinned in a &quot;good&quot; cause.

Such men as Mr Bush and Mr Cheney, and, by extension, all the neoconservatives, are, given power, dangerous.  They seem to feel that &lt;i&gt;they&lt;/i&gt; know what&#039;s best--and are, like good biblical patriarchs, perfectly willing to impose that philosophy on the mis-guided rest of us.

Unfortunately, the Democrats share in that self-righteousness, the only difference is what they&#039;re self-righteous and arrogant about.</description>

		<description>Gee.  Am I mistaken or wouldn&#039;t &quot;obstruction of justice&quot; during the Fitzgerald investigation constitute &quot;high crimes and misdemeanors&quot; under the constitution&#039;s provisions for impeachment?  

Congress really needs to have the guts to push the Justice Department to appoint yet another special prosecutor to the case to specifically investigate these very damaging charges!</description>

		<description>Outing an undercover CIA agent is TREASON and Bush, Cheney and the rest of the traitors in his administration should be charged as such. Anyone doubt that if this were Bill Clinton outing a CIA agent, the &quot;Right Wing Attack Machine&quot; would be out in full force demanding impeachment? How many more crimes are we going to let this administration get away with?</description>

		<description>Finally at least one person on the White House executive staff...that really feels a conscience. I hope you are able to discredit the entire worthless cadre--and sue their behinds off.  YOu know you&#039;ll never get GW to admit he&#039;s wrong.  So the only option to achieve satisfaction will be a suit.  Good luck...hope you burn a bunch of smug butts.!!</description>

		<description>When the heck is someone going to impeach Bush, Cheney and their corrupt Reich?!? More and more information keeps getting revealed that they&#039;ve been lying and scamming the political system since the first day of their regime! As an American citizen, I&#039;m outraged at their behavior and their lack of accountability. When will Congress get on the ball and restore some respectability to our political system..... on the day we vote these corrupt cretins OUT of office!</description>
