Entertaining, Mia. However, anyone who is interested in more information on the subject should read:

Isikoff, Michael and Corn, David. 2007. Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War. Three Rivers Press, New York. 479 p.

I recommend the 2007 paperback edition rather than the 2006 hardcover. The paperback has an additional chapter on "The Surge and the Scooter Libby Trial." Isn't it interesting that since the invasion of Iraq the Bush administration has been telling us, in spite of the advice of the military commanders, that troop strength is sufficient. Now, suddenly, the answer is a surge in troop numbers. It is also interesting that Bush declared that anyone in his administration who had any part in the Valerie Wilson leak would not work in his administration. Later, when three people we found to have independently leaked the info (Libby, Rove, and Armitage), Bush changed to say that only those convicted of a criminal offense would be fired. Only Libby suffered any consequences, and that was for perjury. Rove is still at the White House. Our President is sure a man of his word, isn't he?
