Just now on MSNBC: David Shuster says Scooter Libby has testified that Bush and Cheney both authorized him to disclose Valerie Plame's identity to reporters in an effort to discredit Joe Wilson.
Shuster is painting this as a "PR problem" for the White House. I'd say so, given Bush's insistence that he wanted to find the perpetrators of the leak, and his claims that it was a serious investigation.
What was Clinton impeached for again? It wasn't the sex, it was the lying, right?
Update: Apparently CNN reported the same thing and retracted it--Libby's just-released testimony says Cheney told him Bush had ok'd leaking classified material, but not specifically Plame-Wilson's name...
