Why did Cheney leak a CIA AGENT during war time?

Question

libby quilty of blocking testimony tying chenney to CIA LEAK
is that TREASON?

Answer 1

Because not only does Cheney think he's President he thinks he's the Director of the CIA as well & he is pretty much above the law.

Answer 2

Leaking the identity of a covert agent is treason; however, it seems that Fitzpatrick either didn't have or couldn't get enough evidence to indict Cheney or Rove. He went for the sure thing as they often do--charging Libby with lying. But even the jurors said that Libby was the "fall guy" for Rove and Cheney.

The whole purpose was to discredit Joe Wilson, who was exposing the lies that led us to war.

Answer 3

Vindictive vice president Cheney became the source because Valerie Plame's husband Joe Wilson refused to lie about WMD elements, searching that Iraq had no longer tried to achieve get entry to. besides the undeniable fact that, Cheney's former chief of team, "Scooter" Libby remained dependable and refused to inform the Grand Jury, so Libby became convicted on 4 counts of mendacity to the Grand Jury and obstructing the study.

Answer 4

He did not. This person was NOT a hidden CIA agent. She ALREADY had been "outed" a while earlier. The press has made this into a circus. The whole thing is ridiculous.

It is a case where a prosecutor won a case not on the facts, but on a story he presented. This should NEVER have even gone this far. Once again, "independent" prosecutors stepping way over the line. This should be overturned on appeal.

Answer 5

That is certainly what the liberal media would like you to think.

Libby was only guilty of a process crime and NOT what they started the trial over.

All available evidence shows that it was Richard Armitage that leaked the information. Information by the way that had nothing to do with national security. If anybody needs to be investigated, it is the liberals who leaked the information about our surveilance programs to the liberal media which in turn blew their cover and gave Al Queda a heads up, all for politics!

Answer 6

No, it's not treason. Treason is defined very specifically, and it takes a lot more than this.

If Cheney did leak the information, it would be in violation of 18 USC § 798.

But that has not been proven, and no indictment has been filed.

Answer 7

Because he is a scumbag.

During Cheney’s tenure as CEO from 1995 to 2000, Halliburton Products and Services set up shop in Iran. The Halliburton subsidiary does approximately $40 million a year worth of oil field service work for the Iranian government. 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl visited the subsidiary in the Cayman Islands and found that it had no office and no employees. The mailing address was a local bank with which the subsidiary is registered. Stahl was met there by the bank’s manager who informed her that all mail to the subsidiary is forwarded to Halliburton headquarters in Houston. Halliburton had created the subsidiary to allow itself to do illegal business with a rogue state and to skip out on its taxes in the process.

With Iran’s president vowing to destroy Israel and being accused by the Bush administration of harboring and aiding al-Qaeda operatives, Cheney’s company is doing business with Iran through a subsidiary and dodging its tax obligations to the U.S.

Halliburton has been more closely associated with the invasion of Iraq than any other corporation. Before the Iraq War began, it was 19th on the U.S. Army's list of top contractors and zoomed to number 1 in 2003. In 2003 Halliburton made $4.2 billion from the U.S. government.

Much more has been made since then, and lo and behold, Halliburton is moving to Dubai!

Answer 8

Apparently not.

Or, at least Prosecutor Fitzgerald could not find evidence to support your allegation.

That is a funny thing about the law. In order to arrest, charge and convict some one of a crime, you have to present more than just your blind, hysterical hatred of the person.

Answer 9

She was too full of blueberry juice and was about to explode. And just where was Wonka and the Umpa Loompas to squeeze her, nowhere. You just can't depend on a chocolate man and a bunch of orange midgets...oh excuse me dwarfs.

Answer 10

Doesn't something have to be a secret before it can be a leak?
