CHENEY TO TESTIFY IN NON-LEAK CASE

The defense in the Valerie Plame case says they intend to call Dick Cheney to the stand, making him the first sitting vice president to testify in a criminal case.

Why is there even a trial being held in this case? What laws have been broken ? And why is taxpayer money being spent on this mess?

The media calls this the "CIA leak case," but that is not accurate. The reason is because nothing was ever leaked. No one has been charged with leaking anything. And why? Because there was nothing to leak! Valerie Plame's identity was not a secret and she wasn't a covert agent. The whole thing is an imagined Watergate-style fantasy by the mainstream media.

What the trial really is about is just as flimsy. It's actually the perjury/obstruction of justice trial of Scooter Libby. Tens of millions of taxpayer dollars are going to be spent prosecuting a man who will in all likelihood, wind up being acquitted. Either that or President Bush will pardon him on his way out of office in 2009 and the whole thing will have been a giant waste of time.

But not if you ask the media...to them, this is the trial of the century. Yawn.
