Reply #26: Cheney and Tenet need to be dragged before the grand jury...

[RevDev]

This <AP article> says that Cheney apparently got his information from former CIA director George Tenet. So why the hell isn't Fitzgerald dragging Cheney and Tenet before the grand jury? They say that the outing of a covert CIA operative is a federal offense only if the person who outed the agent knew that the agent was undercover. But don't you think that is something that the VP should have looked into before he started chatting it up with Libby? And don't you think that a CIA director should have informed Cheney that Plame was undercover when he gave the VP her name? And why in the heck was Cheney and Libby so interested in Plame if Cheney didn't know who Wilson was and knew nothing of his mission to Niger? Am I the only one that thinks this whole thing stinks?

While I am just as eager to see some indictments come out this week as the next guy, the realist in me is not getting my hopes up that this will do much damage to the Bush admin. If anything Rove will take the brunt of the force and Bush and his puppet master will walk away relatively unscathed. I hope to God that I'm wrong...but something in my gut tells me I won't be. I dunno, maybe it's just because these thugs have been able to wiggle out of every disaster that's hit over the course of the last 5 years and the American public still doesn't seem to eager to hold these guys accountable for their crimes.
