Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff has testified that President Bush authorized him to disclose the contents of a highly classified intelligence assessment to the media to defend the Bush administration's decision to go to war with Iraq, according to papers filed in federal court [PDF] on Wednesday by Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor in the CIA leak case.

Libby testified to a federal grand jury that he had received "approval from the President through the Vice President" to divulge portions of a National Intelligence Estimate.

Position papers, expert contacts and other resources from Policy Council members are available below.

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby testified to a federal grand jury that he had received "approval from the President through the Vice President" to divulge portions of a National Intelligence Estimate regarding Saddam Hussein's purported efforts to develop nuclear weapons, according to the court papers. Libby was said to have testified that such presidential authorization to disclose classified information was "unique in his recollection," the court papers further said.

Libby also testified that an administration lawyer told him that Bush, by authorizing the disclosure of classified information, had in effect declassified the information. Legal experts disagree on whether the president has the authority to declassify information on his own.

The White House had no immediate reaction to the court filing. "

"President Bush must fully disclose his participation in the selective leaking of classified information," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid in a brief statement. "It's time for the President to come clean about his involvement in the leak case."

President Bush, 9/30/03:
"I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action."

President Bush, 9/30/03:
"If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of. . . . I have told our administration, people in my administration to be fully cooperative. I want to know the truth. If anybody has got any information inside our administration or outside our administration, it would be helpful if they came forward with the information so we can find out whether or not these allegations are true and get on about the business."

President Bush, 10/28/03:
"I'd like to know if somebody in my White House did leak sensitive information."

President Bush, 6/10/04:
Reporter: "Do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have done so?"
President Bush: "Yes. And that's up to the U.S. Attorney to find the facts."

President Bush, 10/28/03:
"I want to know the truth. ... I have no idea whether we'll find out who the leaker is, partially because, in all due respect to your profession, you do a very good job of protecting the leakers."

President Bush, 7/18/05 issue of USA Today: "If someone committed crime, they will no longer work in my administration."

White House Press Secretary, 9/29/03:
"The President has set high standards, the highest of standards for people in his administration. He's made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."

White House Press Secretary, 10/7/03:
"Let me answer what the President has said. I speak for the President and I'll talk to you about what he wants . . .If someone leaked classified information, the President wants to know. If someone in this administration leaked classified information, they will no longer be a part of this administration, because that's not the way this White House operates, that's not the way this President expects people in his administration to conduct their business."

"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." Former President George H. W. Bush 4/26/99

Last May Cheney appeared on Larry King. He stepped in it big time, but few people caught it. I alerted Rude Pundit and he wrote about it.

an excerpt:

Then Cheney made this statement: "In a sense, when you're at war, you keep prisoners of war until the war is over with." So, like, if, in a sense, the Gitmo campers are "prisoners of war," then, in a sense, don't they get Geneva Conventions protections?

Cheney and Gonzales have been playing a semantics game to justify torture, since "war" was never formally declared. It's pretty obvious why they chose to embark upon the path of war without ever formally declaring it - so they could not be held accountable for the War Crimes they knew they'd be committing.

Bush tells us every day that we're at war. Cheney and Gonzales tell us that we're not REALLY at war.

Problem is, Cheney is on tape stating not only that we are at war, but that we are holding "prisoners of war."

The Geneva Conventions DO APPLY, and Cheney is guilty of war Crimes.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0505/30/lkl.01.html

KING: They specifically said, though, it was Guantanamo. They compared it to a gulag.

D. CHENEY: Not true. Guantanamo's been operated, I think, in a very sane and sound fashion by the U.S. military. Remember who's down there. These are people that were picked up off the battlefield in Afghanistan and other places in the global war on terror. These are individuals who have been actively involved as the enemy, if you will, trying to kill Americans. That we need to have a place where we can keep them. In a sense, when you're at war, you keep prisoners of war until the war is over with."

So this is the war without end, and these prisoners will be held forever?

THESE ARE WAR CRIMINALS - THESE ARE WAR CRIMES.

Now we see the TOTAL HYPOCRISY OF BUSH MAKING THE ABOVE STATEMENTS, TIME TO CALL IN THE LIE DETECTOR EXPERTS AND PUT CHENEY AND BUSH UNDER OATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Back on Friday, June 12, 2002, the Defense Department had a big problem: Its new policy on torture of captives in the "war on terror" was about to be exposed. John Walker Lindh, the young Californian captured in Afghanistan in December 2001 and touted by John Ashcroft as an "American Taliban," was scheduled to take the stand the following Monday in an evidence suppression hearing regarding a confession he had signed. There he would tell, under oath, about how he signed the document only after being tortured for days by US soldiers. Federal District Judge T.S. Ellis had already said he was likely to allow Lindh, at trial, to put on the stand military officers and even Guantánamo detainees who were witnesses to or participants in his alleged abuse.

The Defense Department, which we now know had in late 2001 begun a secret, presidentially approved program of torture of Afghan and Al Qaeda captives at Bagram Air Base and other locations, had made it clear to the Justice Department that it wanted the suppression hearing blocked. American torture at that point was still just a troubling rumor, and the Bush Administration clearly wanted to keep it that way. Accordingly, Michael Chertoff, who as head of the Justice Department's criminal division was overseeing all the department's terrorism prosecutions, had his prosecution team offer a deal. All the serious charges against Lindh--terrorism, attempted murder, conspiracy to kill Americans, etc.--would be dropped and he could plead guilty just to the technical charges of "providing assistance" to an "enemy of the U.S." and of "carrying a weapon." Lindh, whose attorneys dreaded his facing trial in one of the most conservative court districts in the country on the first anniversary of 9/11, had to accept a stiff twenty-year sentence, but that was half what he faced if convicted on those two minor charges alone.

But Chertoff went further, according to one of Lindh's attorneys, George Harris. Chertoff (now an appeals court judge in New Jersey) demanded--reportedly at Defense Department insistence, according to what defense attorneys were told--that Lindh sign a statement swearing he had "not been intentionally mistreated" by his US captors and waiving any future right to claim mistreatment or torture. Further, Chertoff attached a "special administrative measure," essentially a gag order, barring Lindh from talking about his experience for the duration of his sentence.

CHERTOFF CREATED TERROR PRETEXTS FOR US POLICE STATE

Lindorff shows how Michael Chertoff made a deal with John Walker Lindh to give him a lesser sentence if he remained silent about the torture HE an American was put through.

This was before the Abu Prison scandal came to light. As a result torture that could have been exposed before it happened when unknown.

What happened: Knowing this is a high crime a violation of the 8th Amendment the government suddenly shifted the case to the domestic authorities from the military. And now Bush packed Supreme Court refuses to hear appeals from American "tortured terrorism suspects"

So the real issue, Chertoff violated Federal law, will not be proven.

That is typical of Mr. Chertoff's real role as Homeland Security chief. He's been covering up the truth about Bush, Ascroft etc, That is what he's good at. and writing the Patriot Act, before 911 happened, so that it could be HAMMERED through Congress shortly after 911 happened. There is no way such a repressive bill could have been written in a few days!

Hammer(DeLay), using all his bribery money,and with the urging of his Zionist friends, and his position, got the Republicans to get this Draconian Bill passed, to torture Americans who dared question the policies of the government.

The high ups, Rumsfeld and Cheney kept pushing for war for Afghanistan and Iraq before 911 and even with PNAC got Bush to sign the executive order two days before 911 occurred. They are responsible for the CIA taking prisoners on flights, and torturing them in the air, to secret prisons all over the globe.

Cheny and friends are planning the preemptive attack on Iran now. What is anybody going to do about it?

Back home we now are faced by another threat of this administration. Not only did they lie about the reasons to attack Afghanistan ( real reasons oil and drugs) they are fully behind a guest worker program for 12 to 20 million estimated illegals from the Southern border

You know and I know our high schools are full of students not on grade level, and many will not go to college. The jobs these illegals will take away work for the lower end students,. I am appalled that these racists in Washington, care nothing for the lower working class, who have a right to life, liberty and happiness. And many as I did had to take menial jobs to help pay my way through college. For illegals this is a civil rights issue is beyond belief, since these people are not citizens. Please speak out on this issue Not only will the middle class being asked to foot the bill for illegals we will have to pay social services,education, health and food stamps for America's non achieving and more unemployed citizens.

Gangs and criminals are coming over the border. See articles at http://www.worldnetdaily.com See that our jails are holding over 1/3 prisoners that are illegals.

This is a corporate issue, as they wanted to stop unions, they've outsourced the jobs overseas, creating the conditions to offer less benefits and security to Americans.Please speak out on this issue. Who ever decided corporations were persons is a moral idiot. They have no conscience!

Can we the Working and Middle Class file a class action suit against the giant corporations who are becoming the government?

Furthermore the position of the administration on wanting to legalize 12 to 20 million illegals, in this time of terrorism, only lends credence to the critics, like Scholars for 911 Truth who say Cheney was complicit in 911. Now a Mr. Borman, ex officer in weapons systems, distinguished Veteran also believes Cheney is the prime suspect in the 911 attack! The official version is full of holes, see

They did nothing to stop the corporations from hiring the illegals. They didn't follow the law, just as they didn't follow the 8th amendment against torture. How long will the American Public endure the lies of this administration? How long will rational people let these traitors remain in office?

All this lying leads credence to the view THEY MADE 911 Happen !

The Project for a New American Century group wrote in Rebuilding America's Defenses, the need for a NEW PEARL HARBOR to happen inorder to fund the military to become the world's controlling power. Of course some programs would have to go, i.e.. Social Security, etc.

The evidence below makes me think this administration orchestrated 911, with the help of the Israeli Mossad, and with the blessings of the Jesuit controlled Catholic Church! The Jesuits take an oath to destroy all non believers, and that's the root cause of the Inquisition and the Holocaust, and the present weakening of America. Soon we will be so overextended, National Guard away, there will be a Jesuit led invasion by the Chinese, whose Defense Ministers have already stated, they'll use biological weapons to kill Americans.
Please publicize this view!

How did it happen?

Not only was it bad enough a Homeland official was found stealing from Target stores now we have one who was preying on 14 year old girls.

Homeland Deputy Press Secretary Arrested
By MICHELLE SPITZER, Associated Press Writer Tue Apr 4, 11:29 PM ET

MIAMI - The deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of

Homeland Security was arrested Tuesday for using the Internet to seduce what he thought was a teenage girl, authorities said.

ADVERTISEMENT

Brian J. Doyle, 55, was arrested at his residence in Maryland on charges of use of a computer to seduce a child and transmission of harmful material to a minor. The charges were issued out of Polk County, Fla.

Doyle, of Silver Spring, Md., had a sexually explicit conversation with what he believed was a 14-year-old girl whose profile he saw on the Internet on March 14, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The girl was an undercover Polk County Sheriff's Computer Crimes detective, the sheriff's office said.

Doyle sent the girl pornographic movie clips and had sexually explicit conversations via the Internet, the statement said.

During other online conversations, Doyle revealed his name, that he worked for the Homeland Security Department and offered his office and government issued cell phone numbers, the sheriff's office said.

Doyle also sent photos of himself to the girl, but authorities said they were not sexually explicit.

On several occasions, Doyle instructed her to perform a sexual act while thinking of him and described explicit activities he wanted to have with her, investigators said.

Doyle later had a telephone conversation with an undercover deputy posing as the teenager and encouraged her to purchase a web camera to send graphic images of herself to him, the sheriff's office said.

He was booked into Maryland's Montgomery County jail where he was waiting to be extradited to Florida, the sheriff's office said.

There was no immediate response to messages left on Doyle's government-issued cell phone and his e-mail, and he could not be reached by phone at the jail for comment.

Homeland Security press secretary Russ Knocke in Washington said he could not comment on the details of the investigation. "We take these allegations very seriously, and we will cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation," Knocke said.

Doyle, who is the fourth-ranking official in the department's public affairs office, was expected to be placed on administrative leave Wednesday morning."

Maybe he was too computer addicted to watch CNN and warn Chertoff what was actually going on at the Convention Center in New Orleans after the leviees broke.
