Keeper Of The Plame


And it never ends...

(From The Washington Independent):

For no particular reason, Attorney General Michael Mukasey has for months held on to documents relating to the Valerie Plame leak investigation. These include transcribed interviews special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald had with President George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney. Today Henry A. Waxman, chair of the House oversight committee, issued a subpoena for their release. In a letter to Mukasey last week, Waxman pointed out that he requested these documents back in December, and the AG has neither provided them nor provided an explanation for why they shouldn't be released. The saga of Valerie Plame, the covert CIA agent whose identity was leaked in 2003, has come back to life since Scott McClellan released his tell-all, What Happened. McClellan wrote that the "president and vice president directed me to go out there and exonerate Scooter Libby." McClellan will testify before the House Judiciary Committee Friday about the Plame leak.

Way to go TWI. Just how much will this be covered in the mainstream media? It's been classified as "old news, therefore worthless." Old, because the present administration has looked like this from the beginning.

Worthless, let's, hope not.
