[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vanguard: [QB] First, most of my news for politics starts from [URL=http://www.instapundit.com]www.instapundit.com[/URL] . Jason, you're making a lot of assumptions here, many of which are simply [i]factually untrue[/i]. Valerie Plame was outed by her husband, and that connection was made by a reporter (Novak), and NO ONE IN TH ADMINISTRATION. This is an oft-repeated lie. Libby was convincted, very scurriously, on 'lying' about remembering a conversation. The Vice President is defined as an excutive, though he has no defined executive powers by viture of his office. Cheney's half-right here. He can, however, be given tasks by the President (like anyone else can) and be made a part of the executive branch of the government in that way. But there's nothing about the OFFICE that's empowering. I cannot call a [i]decade[/i] a rush into war. Hell, the buildup for the actual attack on Iraq was [i]nearly a year long[/i], with negotiations continually tried all along. The "rush to war" meme is simply a lie. Waterboarding was declared 'torture' by NONBINDING measures by the House as a political statement. The house, under the same leadership, has now OVERTURNED that decision to 'enable Obama to have all the tools he needs to fight Terrorism'. Suddenly, since Obama's in charge, it's not a crime anymore apparently. Publically, they'll continue to count it as 'torture', but they will NOT prosecute it as such during Obama's term, nor expressly prohibit it in law. Funny, that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
