Bush is not a man of his word. Very rarely has he ever followed through with what he has said.
However, in this instance, he did.
His words were, and this is a direct quote, "And if there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of."
He took care of Scooter, no doubt about it. Took VERY good care of him.

Break out a source for your quote (the GW quote). I don't think he said that. Second, you'll have to ask the "special prosecutor" why the person that leaked Plame's name wasn't prosecuted. The prosecutor KNEW within days of opening the investigation who had leaked Plame's name, yet he continued after Libby. Why was this? Could it be that if he went after Richard Armitage, he couldn't try to tie the entire thing to Karl Rove and VP Cheney? With all the uproar about outing a CIA "covert operative", one would think that the person who actually did the "outing" would be prosecuted. Why is this so hard for you to understand? This was simply a "witch hunt" to get Rove and Cheney. How else do you explain that the person that outed Valerie Plame was never charged let alone prosecuted. Keep in mind that Armitage was Undersecretary of State, under Sec State Powell, neither of which are Bush fans or supporters of the war.

Bush dealt with Libby. Now I wish Bush would deal with me. I could use the same "Get Out Of Jail Free" card he gave Scooter. I'd sell it on eBay.
Excuse me now, like Jimi, I shall go kiss the sky --- except that the haze isn't purple, it's black and getting darker by the day. Elections are too far away, this should constitute reason for impeachment.

Well, shortly after the 9/11 attacks Bush promised to go after the person responsible for them. Almost six years later, Osama bin Laden is STILL a free man.

The person that leaked the information is Richard Armitage who is not an employee of government anymore and thus beyond the president's ability to fire. The Libby affair was just a political farce that the democrats used to try to lie about what the case was really about.

What rule was broken for anyone to need to be dealt with?
You already know that outed isnt an appropriate term ( and didnt use it this time ) I fail to see what there is to deal with.

Thank the prosecutor for giving the real leak immunity. Bush keeps his word, but he's fair about it.

Again he did the complete opposite by pardoning Libby.No one can honestly claim this president is a man of his word

*blinks* Bush is a man of his word?
Bush won't deal with it because he doesn't know how to deal with it.

True, Dick Armitage is still walking around. He's the one that leaked her identity.
