Fitzgerald probe again notes Cheney's involvement, and, Cheney wanted to spy on all Americans without a warrant

1. Cheney wrote a note that mentioned Valerie Plame before she was outed.

2. Supposedly, Cheney wanted to eavesdrop on all Americans, domestically, without a search warrant, but the NSA, Boy Scouts that they are, with Michael Hayden leading the way, threw themselves down on the tracks and said "no, Dick no!"

Give me a break. Bush approved this leak and cleared it with Cheney - Cheney gets to be the fall guy and the administration, and especially Hayden (right before his CIA nomination hearings), get too look like they're the good guys in this whole debate - heck, they didn't even WANT to spy on poor little Americans at home. Sure.

The other interesting point is that this "leak" is supposed to make us believe that in fact no one ever did listen to our domestic phone calls because the rest of the administration stood up to evil Dick in order to protect our rights. Bull. This leak is specifically intended to make us BELIEVE that no one listened to our calls without a warrant, and that's all the more reason to believe they did.
