Shut Your Mouth ... or Else

"If [Leonard] is right, not only are the defendants innocent, there was no crime."

Oh, there's a crime, all right - allowing Dick Cheney to subvert the government, the constitution, and the office of the vice presidency all fall into the category of high crimes and misdemeanors.

The man needs to be impeached, and then tried for war crimes.

Our governmental system is as Ron Paul would say full of liars and crooks.There are no honest people left in this country.Dick Cheney and the Bush administration our the biggest traitors of our time right next to the Clinton commies.Justice will be swift and painful in the new world make no mistake.

Given the Bush administration's views on "executive privilege" - heavy emphasis on "privilege" - I think it will be criminal if the Justice Department manages to force this man to be quiet.

This smells a lot like the federal government acting like - not to pull punches - a street gang. This is someone who was known for standing up to Rove and his dirty brand of politics. I've seen gang members who used less coercion than this.

Remember when people were asked about things like the privacy act - "if you did not do anything you don't have anything to worry about" Yea right - the current adm. policy is closer to fascism than I ever thought possible in this country - sad

There is so much dirty dealing going on in the White House, that even now it is being exposed. Bob Woodward put a couple books out, and Ron Suskind has too. This Administration deliberately mislead this country into an unneccessary war, has allowed jobs to go overseas, and worst of all they perjered themselves before Congress. That CIA memo that was backdated and used to convince people of Iraq's WMD program, those people think they are above the law. If you want 4 more years of Bush policies, vote for Mc Cain. You people in Ohio have been fooled TWICE, how many jobs has ur state lost? Ur jobs got shipped to China, and Bush&Co blessed it and gave those companies TAX BREAKS to boot!!!! How stupid can you be? Cheney, that evil s.o.b. has made BILLIONS through Halliburton, and not caring about the health of the Soldiers Marines, Airmen, and Naval personnel at all. CONTAMINATED water, electrocutions, coz the wiring was "jerry rigged"....these people want to do away with the BAKER-DAVIS ACT, which has to do with prevailing wages, giving wat unions that are left in this country a FAIR wage. That bill gets dumped, YOU will be assembling cars etc. for about $10 dollars an hour, paying ur own health care, thereby dismantling the unions, and the mid-class for good. WAKE UP OHIO!!!!!

Being angry at Bush is all well and good, I am too, but the real issue here is whether or not the information being disclosed for the court is secret or not. If it is then by all means Leonard should be prosecuted. The esponage act is incedibly important to national security. It is how we defended ourselves against the soviets during the cold war and how we now protect ourselves from the chinese, russians, and a number of terrorist states getting their hands on military and congressional secrets. Remember, not all government secrets are executive. What would happen if a foreign government had information on the various commitees in congress? The meetings held behind closed doors are behind closed doors for a reason. That said, based on Leonard's fued with Addington it does not seem to me that Leonard would lie about something not even being classified. In that instance an inquery on abuse of the power to make information classified should be held, and Leonard aquited.

This is for sure selective threats for most likely something else this guy has done or will do. And as mentioned in the previous comments, this is nothing to do with national security but covering up criminal activity that could possibly get pelosi off her stubborn ass and go after w & dick. I would say for our democracy's sake that there needs to be a whole heap of transparancy of our 'secret' government. Air out all their dirty laundry.

All of the secrets start with bushy.Was everbody really satisfied with the texas air guard answers?Not me or or any of my vet buddies.23Oct72-15Oct75.I'm 54 now and would go now if I were asked

Secrecy is stupid and the overwhelming amount of secrets are not about national security, but rather profit for an individual or to cover up and individual's crime. When something is secret people rightfully assume the worst. Government secrets do far more harm than good to our national security.

We need more government in the sunshine. I don't trust those guys up there running the government and making crucial decisions without the public's input. They could take us to a nuclear war without us having any input.

Wait??? didn't Cheney's office previously assert executive privilege, when refusing to honor Congressional subpoenas for testimony from Cheny's staff? And for the minutes of Cheney's closed-door meetings with oil industry executives when formulating national energy policy? The Cheney office is, in effect, a sovereign entity.
