An interesting article in the today’s Wall Street Journal, Fess Up, Mr. Armitage, it notes that Mr Armitage has not publicly admitted that he leaked the name of Valerie Plame and states that the President should think about giving Mr Libby a Pardon. As the charges are an extension of the main charge. It seems if you agree with the Main Stream Media about the reason for the Iraq war and the present condition of the Iraq then you can get way with leaking confidential information due to a mistake, while minor matter of forgetting information due to pressure of work gets you on trial. This is where Presidential leadership come to the for, the President should make it known through the Press if the charges are not dropped by the start of the New Year then he will use his Presidential Prerogative to Pardon Mr Libby and appoint him back to the administration. If those pardon under the Bush 41 can come back and work for the administration then those that have served the President and Vice President should be able to come back to work in a role that does not require Congressional Approval.
In fact this debate could be used to get the political base out, we have had years of conspiracy theories about how the Bush White House was out to destroy Mr Wilson due to his critical review of Bush Policy on Iraq, well its time to take the fight to the Liberals. The Attorney General should ask for an investigation of the New York Times for its release of Secret Information, it should drag in the Reporters who wrote the Stories about the National Security Agency following the money of Terrorists and its checking of calls to mine for more information. This is a time of War, can you imagine Roosevelt or Churchill putting up with this during World War Two. If the New York Times had reports about the Manhattan Project it would have been on the front pages years before it was develop. This is a different type of WAR, it uses all polices of government, military, intelligence, economic, culture, all are important. A wise Supreme Court Justice once stated that the Bill of Rights was not an automatic right to suicide, there are limits, the government needs to protect its people, that is it main aim. The impression one gets from very Liberal Democrats, that as long as there rights are protected they don’t care about the War on Terror, as they tend to very rich Liberals and live in California, that is a very liberal view of Liberals. In today’s world, any one any place is a target, 9/11 and 7/7 should be a wake up call to those who seem more interested in civil liberties than in one liberty above all, the right to live an happy life not under the threat of terror. The government needs to use all its assets; the first priority of any government is to protect its citizens.
Thus the role of the President is to protect the people, but this can also mean to stop injustice, lets start a positive campaign to Pardon Mr Libby.
