Cheney, swearing, and the Bush administration: "there is intense anger over the White House's revealing the identity of Plame, who may have been active in a sting operation involving the trafficking of WMD components. Plame was outed in a White House attempt to discredit the finding of her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, that there was no evidence that Iraq tried to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger. 'Only a very high-ranking official could have had access to the knowledge that Plame was on the payroll' of the CIA, an intelligence source told me."

This Valerie Plame issue has been so unbelievable. Had this happened under Clinton, we would have heard immediate calls for impeachment, but under this administration, this is just called political. And by political, they mean the investigation, not the outing. The question this (and other things) raises for Bush supporters is, do you really think this administration puts this war on terror above politics? I don't.
