A most interesting question for Bush and Fitz

josh marshall made a very interesting point yesterday about the latest libby/plame/wilson/cia/bush/cheney revelations (see previous post), but robert parry raises an even more interesting question in today's consortium news article...

Lewis Libby’s testimony identifying George W. Bush as the top official who authorized the leaking of intelligence about Iraq’s alleged nuclear weapons program raises two key questions: What did the President tell the special prosecutor about this issue in 2004 and what is Bush’s legal status in the federal criminal probe?

Bush’s legal danger came into clearer focus with the release of a court document citing testimony from Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff who claimed that Bush approved the selective release of intelligence in July 2003 to counter growing complaints that Bush had hyped evidence on Iraq’s pursuit of enriched uranium.

i sure as hell hope dear leader feels the walls closing in... i know you're never supposed to let 'em see you sweat but it would be nice if, at least in private, he's beginning to perspire heavily...
