[Grovenet] Tomasky on Libby verdict

[Steele, Mike]

Michael Tomasky of the guardian unlimited online news service out of the
UK notes re the Libby verdict:

"The Bush administration built much of its case for invasion on lies.
When those lies were exposed, its response was to try to destroy the
whistleblowers - even one who was a covert CIA officer.

Here's what one noted American had to say about this kind of behavior:
'I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by
exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most
insidious of traitors.' The speaker was George Bush Sr, in 1999. And
that's exactly what his son oversaw."

Perhaps it's heating up in the White House right about now.
