According to a federal prosecutor's report, Scooter Libby was given approval to leak classified information to columnist Robert Novak, as part of the administration's desire to heighten the impression that Iraq was pursuing the acquisition of nuclear weapons technology. Apparently it's not a crime, since the President can de-classify information if he likes, but I don't think that matters a whole lot. It's just another instance of Bush acting like a demagogue, either above the law (FISA wiretaps) or acting AS the law, as in this instance.
It's all starting to sicken me.
