National Security Advisor Leaked Plame Name; Libby Still Fucked
National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley was one of Bob Woodward's sources on Plame, according to the Raw Story.
At the time of his conversations with Woodward, Hadley was ... Deputy National Security Advisor. For his work in discrediting Joe Wilson, Hadley was promoted to his current position ... after Condoleeza Rice was promoted to Secretary of State, a rewarded for her stellar role in maintaining security in the United States.
Since the news emerged yesterday that Woodward spoke with someone before Libby spoke with Judith Miler, the right-wing media and a prostitute have tried to spin things to suggest that Libby is off the hook.
But guess what? Libby was not indicted for leaking the identity of a CIA agent, but for conspiracy, perjury, and obstruction of justice. So, regardless of who leaked what when, Libby still faces 30 years in the slammer.
And, last and best, the Bush administration may face yet more problems, if it's National Security Advisor is indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald indicts.
Bush can only hide in Ulaanbaatar for so long. By the time he gets back, there will surely be more great news for him.
