When Your Own Press Secretary Calls You a Liar...
...then you're a liar. Former Bush Press Secretary, Scott McClellan, claims that both Bush and Cheney deliberately misled the American people about the role of White House aides--Scooter Libby, and Karl Rove--in leaking the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame.
And still, the Religious Right says nothing.
"I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself."If you're not aware, Joseph Wilson, Valerie Plame's husband and former U.S. Ambassador, accused the Bush administration of exaggerating questionable claims about Iraq trying to purchase yellowcake from Nigeria. This was one of the central arguments used to inspire fear in the U.S. population and motivate support for a pre-emptive invasion. Many suspect that Plame's outing was related to Wilson's report.
And still, the Religious Right says nothing.
