I don't have time to dig into the many topics until later. One pertinent point a friend brought up I just need to say:
The Oral Order of the Fuhrer is the Supreme Law -- What is this? Well, two things:
a) The established rule of Nazi's under the Third Reich and
b) Bush's declassification policy if indeed he says it out loud and therefore it is done
Slate has two entries about Libbyhere and here. He talks about something I brought up a while ago which is Libby's ultimate role as scapegoat but he points out that Libby's squealing may be so loud that distancing him only draws him closer. The Wapo talks about the point that the declassification of the NIE has nothing to do with the Plame outing. I will be back in a little while to discuss this because I don't fully agree.
