Bush's 'Inappropriate' Use of Power
October 15, 2008 - by Donny ShawAdjourned, but still releasing reports:
>President George W. Bush overstepped his authority by withholding an FBI interview of Vice President Dick Cheney from a congressional panel probing the leak of a CIA agent’s identity, a draft bipartisan House report said.
>
>The interview may shed light on who disclosed former CIA agent Valerie Plame’s identity, the draft report said. The report was circulated by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat, and Virginia Representative Tom Davis, the panel’s senior Republican.

Plame was a bad agent and blew other people. She was blowing people in 95 after Ames arrest. Her trial of America was how she blew all those people, like Ames. If this is in Dick’s report, I can’t wait to cash in like Larry, Val and all the others who wouldn’t obey the five year law.
Excuse me. There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.
