The trial of former Vice Presidential Chief of Staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby is revealing just many of the fingerprints on the illegal and unethical outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame belong to Libby’s boss — Vice President Dick Cheney.

Testimony so far reveals Cheney’s obsession with destroying the credibility of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, whose investigation into claims Iraq was attempting to buy enriched uranium from Niger proved false one of the primary rationales for President George W. Bush’s illegal invasion of Iraq.

Did Cheney orchestrate the Plame affair? Each new day of testimony in the trial certainly points that way and what we have heard to date provides valuable insight into the mind and motives of the man who many believe is the real power of the Bush presidency.

1. If the Dems in Congress don't lead a rapid and sweeping move

to reassert in this nation a new government that responds to the popular will and holds a decent regard for the opinions of humankind, then the ones we just elected to power are as corrupt as the ones they replaced, the American Experiment is over, and and the American people are truly without representation.

2. Fire Cheney

After originally saying anyone involved in leaking the name of the covert CIA operative would be fired, Bush told reporters: "If somebody committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration."
