Libby and his mentor Paul Wolfowitz laid out the case for the illegal invasion of Iraq just one week after the Twin Towers fell in 2001 ~ and both reported to Dick Cheney.

Guy Dinsmore, Financial Times UK, profiled Libby and writes;

” Together with the vice-president, Mr. Libby launched the push to invade Iraq …. And, together with Cheney, Libby has “worked hard to block signs of engagement with Iran, resist direct talks with North Korea, and undermine U.S. legislation prohibiting torture and degrading treatment of detainees.”

As such, Libby was Cheney’s disciple and hit man and was obviously chosen to out Valerie Plame by Darth Vader himself ~ Dick Cheney.

Expect a Bush pardon and eventually a medal if Libby is found guilty. Loyalty to the chief outweighs everything in this den of thieves.

However, the last thing Cheney wants is now happening ~ Fitzgerald digging deeper into Cheney’s secret government and other more flagrant crimes against peace.

Activists Call for Cheney’s Impeachment

by Allison Brophy Champion

Two political activists from Leesburg set up outside the Culpeper post office Tuesday afternoon to hand out literature and call for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

“Impeach Satan first,” said a poster hanging from their table, and at its center was a photo of Cheney with devil horns and a pitchfork. “Go with Larouche.”

“We’re out here to make sure everybody knows Dick Cheney is at the end of his rope,” said Gene Schenk, 52. “That we’ve got to stop Cheney from going to war with Iran.”

Both Schenk and co-activist, Leslie Vaughan, represented the political action committee of 84-year-old Lyndon LaRouche, a controversial political figure who has run, unsuccessfully, for president in every election since 1976. Vaughan declined to elaborate on her reasons for coming to Culpeper, saying, “Cheney is not a very nice man.”

The largely unstated word at the massive anti-war demonstration and march in Washington on Saturday was “impeachment.” Not that it wasn’t on demonstrators’ lips and signs, but it wasn’t coming from the podium.

The march, organized by United for Peace and Justice, was instead deliberately focused narrowly on the issue of ending the war in Iraq and preventing an invasion of Iran. But clearly, behind that was the sense that the US government is in the hands of a cabal of warmongers and anti-democratic usurpers who are intent on broadening the war in the Middle East, not ending it , and that the Democrats in the 110th Congress haven’t got the spine to stop them (a group from Seattle actually addressed this with a giant white spine float emblazoned with the words “investigate, impeach, indict”).

Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the new head of the House Judiciary Committee, was a late addition to the roster of speakers at the rally on the National Mall. He told the cheering throng that while Bush may have been “firing the generals who tell him that we’re losing the war in Iraq,” he “can’t fire you.” Then he added, in a none-too-veiled hint that impeachment may be coming, “But we can fire him!”

The crowd went wild, with chants of “Impeach him!”

The stage has been set.

President Bush’s top political consultant, Karl Rove, could testify in the much-publicized trial of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Michael Isikoff reports in a Newsweek web exclusive.

“White House anxiety is mounting over the prospect that top officials–including deputy chief of staff Karl Rove and counselor Dan Bartlett–may be forced to provide potentially awkward testimony in the perjury and obstruction trial” of Libby, writes Isikoff.

Rove and Bartlett have both already received subpoenas from defense lawyers for Libby, Isikoff quotes lawyers related to the case as saying.

The article states that while it’s not guaranteed that Rove and Bartlett will be called, chances rose this week after Libby’s lawyer “laid out a defense resting on the idea that his client … had been made a ’scapegoat’ to protect Rove.”
