Thom Hartmann appropriately focuses in on a
deeply troubling aspect of the Libby commutation. He
asks whether Libby, Bush and Cheney conspired to buy
Libby's silence on the question of White House
involvement in the Plame scandal, in return for
commuting and/or pardoning Libby.
The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. Libby
clammed up all of a sudden in February 2007, and
withdrew threats to call Cheney, Karl Rove and other
White House staffers to the stand during his trial. No
one does that without an assurance that they will be
repaid for it.
Best of all for the criminal conspirators, since the
conspiracy is ultimately unprovable, the gutless
mockingbirds in the corporate press can stay silent on
the conspiracy and claim there's no 'hard evidence'
any deal was cut. Never mind, of course, that there is
not a one of them that doesn't believe a conspiracy of
silence was hatched.
Welcome to post-Constitutional USA, where obvious
cover-ups are engineered in plain sight, everyone in
the media knows it and no one does a goddamned thing
about it. The very definition of 'dual consciousness'.

Should an actual "showdown" occur over the constitutionality of Cheney's stonewalling, we would welcome it. Let's know exactly where we stand with respect to the willingness of elected officials to stand up to the criminals-in-chief.
It's well past the time Leahy and company should have been pressing for these sorts of answers. Get on with it.

More from the same White House that threatened to veto the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2007, refused to testify under oath to the 9/11 Commission and every other committee that's tried to investigate anything, and was the subject of a Congressional Research Service Report, "a searchable collection of 237 specific misleading statements made by Bush Administration officials about the threat posed by Iraq" preceeding the opening days of shock and awe in Iraq. Indeed, shocking and awesome take on new meaning daily!
See also Henry Waxman's fact sheet entitled, "The Vice President's Efforts to Avoid Oversight and Accountability" and these related articles, "Waxman Decries Cheney Security Exemption", and "Gov.
Asks Judge to Toss Spying Lawsuits"--"They've come to federal court to stop state officials from even beginning their investigations," DeAlmeida said. "They are insulating the federal government from any investigation from state officials by insulating themselves in state secrets arguments."
So is he impeached YET? Call your Representative right now with this information, insist s/he support Kucinich's Cheney Impeachment resolution (H.Res. 333), and call again every single day until you see her/his name listed as a cosponsor. Really, there just simply is no longer ANY excuse not to demand immediate impeachment.
